An analytical solution to compute the 3D steady state temperature distribution in abearing ring is presented in this paper. The ring is formed by a hollow cylinder of finitelength. Its radial external surface is subjected to localized, identical heat sources,equally spaced in the azimuth direction. This surface is also subjected to convectivecooling while as the internal surface is maintained at a uniform temperature. Thedeveloped solution is explicit and does not impose any restriction on the geometrical orphysical parameters.
