Am I correct if I say the total and static temperatures of an incompressible fluid are the same?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Total temperature is the temperature measured by a thermometer in a moving fluid, while static temperature is the temperature measured by a thermometer in a non-moving fluid.
Total temperature is always greater than or equal to static temperature, as the kinetic energy of the moving fluid increases the total temperature.
Total and static temperatures are typically measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K).
Total and static temperatures are important in fluid dynamics as they help in understanding the behavior of fluids in motion, such as in aircraft engines and gas turbines. They also play a crucial role in thermodynamics and heat transfer studies.
Total and static temperatures can be measured using instruments such as thermocouples, thermistors, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) that can be inserted into the fluid flow. Other methods include using pitot tubes or hot wire anemometers to measure velocity and using Bernoulli's equation to calculate total and static temperatures.
