In this study, the heat transfer paths among the grinding fluid, the grains and the workpiece are investigated for the creep feed grinding. As heat enters the workpiece, the majority of heat is carried away by the fluid. Thus, the cooling effectiveness of the grinding fluid is defined and calculated through the application of the numerical method to illustrate how much the fraction of the heat is carried away by the grinding fluid. The results reveal that water has higher cooling effectiveness than oil. In addition, the cooling effect of the grinding fluid becomes more significant at lower workpiece speed, higher grinding depth and greater wheel speed.
