Design and calibration of a total-temperature probe for use at supersonic speeds
Description:
Report presenting a study of the factors involved in the design of total-temperature probes for use at supersonic speeds as applied to the design of an instrument to be used in wind-tunnel calibrations. Tests of the probe showed that the calibration factor required in the conversion of the measured temperature to the true total temperature was 0.992 for a range of Mach numbers.
