Heat transfer behavior caused by temperature difference in reciprocating sliding contact

In order to study the heat transfer characteristics between two rough surfaces of two contacting blocks with different bulk temperatures and sliding reciprocating motion, a two-dimensional heat transfer model was used to analyze the dimensionless average heat flux, considering thermal contact conductance. The results of a series simulations were presented, covering a wide range of operating parameters including dimensionless amplitude [Formula: see text] , dimensionless frequency [Formula: see text] , and measurements of interface conductance [Formula: see text] . The results show that the dimensionless average heat flux increases with the increase of dimensionless frequency and amplitude, and the dimensionless average heat flux rises sharply in the low range of [Formula: see text] and approaches to a steady state approximation when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] .
