Chapter 12, Problem 2CP

What is dynamic temperature?

To determine

Dynamic temperature.

Answer to Problem 2CP

When temperature rise attains the place where the gas is brought to rest adiabatically is called dynamic temperature.

Explanation of Solution

When temperature rise attains the place where the gas is brought to rest adiabatically is called dynamic temperature.

Stagnation (or total) temperature,

  ${\text{T}}_{\text{o}}\text{=T+}\frac{{\text{V}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{2}{\text{C}}_{\text{P}}}$

The term $\frac{{\text{V}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{2}{\text{C}}_{\text{P}}}$ corresponds to the temperature rise during such a process is called dynamic temperature.
