Mechanical Engineering : Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics - Quiz(MCQ)
Which among the following is referred to as the temperature at a stagnation point in the flow of fluids in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
A)
Absolute temperature
B)
Maximum temperature
C)
Hydraulic temperature
D)
Stagnation temperature

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   Stagnation temperature


Explanation : Stagnation temperature is the temperature at the stagnation point of the flow of fluids. In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, these terms find application. At a stagnation point the speed of the fluid is zero and all of the kinetic energy has been converted to internal energy and is added to the local static enthalpy.
