The temperature rise (ΔT) in a turbofan engine refers to the increase in air temperature as it passes through the compressor. It is a crucial parameter for understanding the compression process and engine performance. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit for temperature rise in aircraft design:Formula:
The formula for temperature rise (ΔT) is calculated using the following relationship:
- ΔT is the temperature rise in Kelvins (K).
- T2 is the air temperature at the compressor outlet in Kelvins (K).
- T1 is the air temperature at the compressor inlet in Kelvins (K).
