TLDR
In this article, an apparatus is described for monitoring the temperature of the propulsion gas at the inlet to a turbine wheel in a turbine in which a compressor fuels air into a chamber where it is heated and the heated products exiting the chamber form propulsion gas.Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed for monitoring the temperature of the propulsion gas at the inlet to a turbine wheel in a turbine in which a compressor fuels air into a chamber where it is heated and the heated products exiting the chamber form the propulsion gas. The temperature of the heated products exiting the chamber is a function of the inlet static and total pressure, the total inlet temperature, the static pressure of the heated products and the static pressure drop across the chamber.read more

Means for calculating turbine inlet temperature of a gas turbine engine
TL;DR: In this article, the inlet temperature of a gas turbine engine is calculated from compressor discharge temperature, total and static pressures and total fuel metered to the engine by combining a sensed engine temperature with a derived fuel/air ratio and from the empirical burner can temperature rise equation solving for the turbine inlet value.

Inferred measurement of the turbine inlet temperature of a gas turbine engine
TL;DR: In this article, the inlet temperature of a gas turbine engine is determined by solving the equation T5 C''Wf/P + T3, where T5 is the gas producer turbine inlet temperatures, Wf is the fuel flow, P is the difference between the static pressure in the bellmouth inlet to the compressor and the ambient pressure, and T3 is the compressor outlet temperature.
