FAQ

What is the Reference temperature?
The Reference temperature is a specific temperature used as a baseline for analyzing thermodynamic properties in hypersonic flow scenarios, particularly for viscous flow over flat plates. Reference temperature is usually measured using the Kelvin for Temperature. Note that the value of Reference temperature is always positive.
Can the Reference temperature be negative?
No, the Reference temperature, measured in Temperature cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Reference temperature?
Reference temperature is usually measured using the Kelvin[K] for Temperature. Celsius[K], Fahrenheit[K], Rankine[K] are the few other units in which Reference temperature can be measured.
