Prediction of the bulk temperature in spur gears based on finite element temperature analysisThe temperature distribution in spur gears operating in a state of thermal equilibrium is solved by using a finite element method. The effects of various dimensionless parameters on bulk temperature are shown. A table is provided which can be used to predict the bulk temperature on gear teeth, once the heat transfer coefficients and frictional heat input is estimated. Theoretical results for estimating heat transfer coefficients and frictional heat are also summarized.
