Download or read book Experimental Investigation of Temperature Recovery Factors on Bodies of Revolution at Supersonic Speeds written by William R. Wimbrow and published by . This book was released on 1949 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local temperature recovery factors have been measured on two bodies of revolution at Mach numbers of 2.0 and are shown to be independent of Mach number, Reynolds number, or body shape. The measured recovery factor is well represented by the square root of Prandtl number for laminar boundary layers and by the cube root of Prandtl number for turbulent boundary layers, as predicted by theory.
