Static Temperature in Compressible Flow Formulas

The Static Temperature is defined as the temperature measured by a thermometer placed within the fluid without affecting the fluid’s velocity or pressure. And is denoted by T_s. Static Temperature is usually measured using the Kelvin for Temperature. Note that the value of Static Temperature is always positive.
