There is heat generation during engagement of clutch and due to slip. How to find heat generation rate and temperature rise at the surface of pressure plate and clutch lining?
the heat generation can be measured on a test bed by use of temperature sensors, which are positioned as near as possible in the clutch plate(s), or by simulation. There are different books available, which include modeling and maths for simulation of friction, e.g. that from Valentin Popov: http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783642108020
Kind regards,

Thank you, Mr. Hirz for your reply. The time of engagement, slip percentage and heat dissipation methodology also play an important role. So, I would like to get papers related to this application.
Thank you, Mr. Zaafar. Heat generation rate should be equal to the power to be transmitted at the point of engagement. But what should be engagement time? The rate of energy generation would be more than dissipation, which would increase temperature of components. The gradient near the surface need to be found.
