A brake disc with helical grooved vent in radial direction is proposed for the improvement of thermal dissipation. The heat transfer phenomenon is analyzed far both the proposed disc and the conventional one using finite element method. The thermal dissipation is considerably influenced by the geometrical differences of the brake discs. The results of the analysis show that the proposed brake disc with helical grooved vent has the improved performance to dissipate the thermal energy more effectively.
