A study on thermal performance of revolving heat pipe grinding wheel

The heat generated in the grinding process can result in high temperatures in the grinding contact zone, and result in defects to both the workpiece and the grinding wheel. Typically, coolants are used to transfer heat from the contact zone. This process, however, is not satisfactory as coolants often lose efficacy due to film boiling and can result in adverse health and environment effects. A novel cooling method that incorporates a two phase …
