In aircraft design and engineering, “temperature change” (ΔT) represents the difference in temperature between two points in a system or the change in temperature of a substance as it undergoes a process. Temperature change is typically measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K).
The formula for calculating temperature change can be defined as:
- ΔT (Delta T) is the temperature change, typically measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K)
- T_final is the final temperature after the process or change, measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K).
- T_initial is the initial temperature before the process or change, also measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K).
