**7. Validation of Results**

The results were validated using Ansys Workbench software (Figure 6).

**Figure 6.** Temperature distribution in the rotor calculated by (**a**) the Ansys Workbench model and (**b**) the proposed model for *t =* 300 s.

Figure 6 depicts the temperature distributions calculated using the Ansys Workbench model (Figure 6a) and those obtained analytically (Figure 6b).

Figure 7 compares the distributions of temperature along the radius (*r* = 0.0525 m).

**Figure 7.** Distributions of temperature along the rotor height (thickness) for *r =* 0.0525 m.

From Figure 7, it is apparent that the results obtained using both calculation methods are in good agreement.
