Popis: Grinding fluid is typically applied in order to achieve reduced surface grinding temperatures, improved workpiece surface integrity, and extended wheel life compared to that which can be achieved in the dry situation. This paper presents the results of an investigation concerned with methods to determine the value of the convection heat transfer coefficient. The work is based on the theory of fluid dynamics and heat transfer that are used to describe the heat transfers within the grinding zone under different grinding conditions. The simulation research is made by means of the FEM for the wet grinding temperature distribution, and the three-dimensional topology map of the temperature distribution is obtained. Temperature is measured with the clamped thermocouple in different grinding conditions. The experimental result is approximately suitable to the simulated result. The simplicity and accuracy of the method allow the application to a wide range of grinding regimes from shallow-cut to high-efficiency deep grinding.
