Calculating reduction in static temperature and pressure

Click For Summary
Inducing air into a gas turbine inlet increases its velocity, resulting in reduced static temperature and static pressure. Calculating these reductions requires knowledge of the Mach number, total pressure, and possibly the specific heat ratio (gamma). The analysis aims to determine the potential for condensation during air expansion. Utilizing a T-s diagram can aid in visualizing and calculating the relevant properties. Bernoulli's equation is also recommended for understanding the relationship between total pressure, static pressure, and dynamic pressure.

When air is induced into a gas turbine inlet, the increase in velocity of the air will lead to an associated reduction in static temperatue and static pressure.
How do you calculate these, that is, reduced static temp and pressures, given only Mach number, gamma, and perhaps total pressure ?

The whole idea is to analyse whether condensation will take place or not. Kindly help.
Thanks.

It depends on the pressure to which the air is expanded. Plot the things on a T-s diagram, & properties can be calculated
 
Not sure what you mean by gamma, but last I checked can't isn't total pressure the sum of static and dynamic. Since you have the speed of the air you should be able to determine the dynamic pressure. Investigate bernoulis equation
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
