[QUOTE="gcassidy, post: 9840470, member: 13216"] Tom, I hope I'm not muddying the waters here, but your bringing up the temperature of equilibrium makes me wonder if that's what NASA's lead instructor was always talking about in classroom. He stated (and was generally agreed with by drivers faster than me), that compressing the brake zone actually cools the brakes (to a slight degree). It's almost counter-intuitive, because you think you're using the brakes harder, and that they'd get hotter. But he argued that the brakes would hit their maximum temperature regardless of going another 10 feet (or whatever) into the brake zone, and that by traveling that extra 10 feet you were getting 10 feet of extra cooling. This made sense given that the brakes were maxing out in their temperatures either way. I'm assuming this is what you're referring to in the "actual temperature of equilibrium", which lends credence to what he was saying (I always beleived him anyway because he was Dan, and you just believed in Dan). :D [/QUOTE]
