Tread braking of railway wheels – temperatures generated by a metro train

Last updated on 01 August 2014 2:42

Tread braking of railway wheels results in the kinetic energy of the train being dissipated into the wheel and blocks in the form of heat. This heat is further conducted into adjacent structures, notably the cold rail, and also transferred into the surroundings by convection and radiation. Heat partitioning between...
