The invention discloses a method for calculating the temperature of a rarefied flow field through convective
heat flow and the surface temperature of a Gordon meter, and the method is used for measuring the incoming flow temperature of a rarefied fluid wind tunnel, and comprises the steps: installing the Gordon meter and a
radiation heat flow meter on a moving motor at a certain interval, and controlling a
measurement point through the moving motor, the measuring point is an area covered by the incoming flow direction; after a measuring point is selected, under the same working condition, a moving motor sequentially measures the total
heat flow Q (average value) and the pure
radiation heat flow qr of the measuring point, the heat flow average value Qc = Q-qr of
convective heat transfer is obtained, and an
infrared pyrometer is used for measuring the center temperature Tr = 0 of a Gordon meter; and calculating the incoming flow temperature Tf and the
convective heat transfer coefficient h of the current
measurement point according to the convective heat flow Qc and the
constantan foil center temperature Tr = 0 of the Gordon meter. According to the invention, a simple structure is used for replacing a complicated measurement
system of a conventional rarefied wind tunnel
temperature measurement method, and the problem that in a highly rarefied wind tunnel, the
signal of a spectrum
temperature measurement method is weak, and the temperature measured by a
thermocouple is difficult to reflect the actual temperature of a flow field is solved.
