This false ambient temperature is the flex temp. [3] The flex temp is entered into the flight management system (FMS) — effectively telling the engine control system to assume the specified air temperature instead of the actual outside air temperature in calculating the maximum thrust available under current conditions. Setting the throttle ...
The first of the cooling load factors used in this method is the CLTD, or the Cooling Load Temperature Difference. This factor is used to represent the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air with the inclusion of the heating effects of solar radiation. [1] [5] The second factor is the CLF, or the cooling load factor.
The major components in the ATA include two ammonia storage tanks, isolation valves, heaters, and various temperature, pressure, and quantity sensors; Heat Rejection - Ammonia passes from the ATA through a two way path of the Flex Hose Rotary Coupler (FHRC) where heat captured while passing through the Heat Exchangers is directed to be expelled ...
In thermal engineering, the logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) is used to determine the temperature driving force for heat transfer in flow systems, most notably in heat exchangers. The LMTD is a logarithmic average of the temperature difference between the hot and cold feeds at each end of the double pipe exchanger.
When an aircraft engine is flat rated it means that an engine of high power or thrust rating is constrained to a lower power or thrust rating. The engine output in this case will always remain the same, but when atmospheric conditions such as high temperatures and high altitude ("hot and high") reduce the output of the engine it has more headroom before it falls below the limited maximum output.
Heat flux can be determined using two surface temperature measurements on either side of the material using temperature sensors if k and x of the material are also known. Diagram depicting heat flux through a thermal insulation material with thermal conductivity, k, and thickness, x.
The wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).

The exact formulation is as follows. Consider two systems, 1 and 2, in thermal contact, with respective energies E 1 and E 2. We assume E 1 + E 2 = some constant E. The number of microstates of each system will be denoted by Ω 1 and Ω 2. Under our assumptions Ω i depends only on E i.
