In aircraft design and engineering, “T_inlet” represents the absolute temperature of the air at the inlet of a component or system, such as a compressor or an engine. Absolute temperature is typically measured in kelvin (K) or other temperature units. The formula for calculating the absolute temperature at the inlet (T_inlet) is based on the Fahrenheit (°F) temperature converted to kelvin:
- T_inlet (in Fahrenheit) is the absolute temperature at the inlet, measured in kelvin (K).
- T_inlet (in degrees Fahrenheit) is the temperature at the inlet measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
