What is the relation between recovery factor and temperature?(a) Ti=T[1+r\(\frac{\gamma-1}{2}\)M^2](b) Ti=T[1+r\(\frac{\gamma+1}{2}\)M^2](c) Ti=T[1-r\(\frac{\gamma-1}{2}\)M^2](d) Ti=T[1-r\(\frac{\gamma+1}{2}\)M^2]I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My query is from Measurement of Air Temperature topic in chapter Atmosphere and Air Data Measurement of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Ti=T[1+r\(\frac{\gamma-1}{2}\)M^2]

Explanation: The relation between RECOVERY FACTOR and TEMPERATURE is Ti=T[1+r\(\frac{\gamma-1}{2}\)M^2] where T is the temperature at that altitude, Ti is indicated TOTAL temperature, r is recovery factor, M is Mach number and γ is the ratio of specific heat at CONSTANT pressure to that of specific heat at constant volume.
