A car with mass 3250 lbm drives with 60 mi/h when the brakes are applied to quickly decrease its speed to 20 mi/h. Assume the brake pads are 1 lbm mass with heat capacity of 0.2 Btu/lbm R and the brake discs/drums are 8 lbm steel where both masses are heated uniformly. Find the temperature increase in the brake assembly.

C.V. Car. Car looses kinetic energy and brake system gains internal u.

No heat transfer (short time) and no work term.

m = constant; E2 - E1 = 0 - 0 = mcar 1/2(V22 − V21) + mbrake(u2 − u1

The brake system mass is two different kinds so split it, also use Cv since we do not have a u table for steel or brake pad material.
