Figure 9 Immersion rake–static pressure tap positioning.<br />

are found with inlet flow measurements where the flow is relatively uniform.<br />

Significant measurement errors will occur if the probe is not properly<br />

aligned with the flow. In addition, the probes have relatively long sensing<br />

heads to minimize sensitivities to flow Mach numbers.<br />

Total Temperature Measurements<br />

Total temperature measurements are used to calculate stage adiabatic<br />

efficiencies. In addition, radial survey temperature data can be used to<br />

calculate rotor work distributions across the flow path. <strong>Turbomachinery</strong><br />

flow-field total temperatures are recorded using thermocouple sensors,<br />
