Corrected speed

Corrected Speed is the speed a component would rotate at if the inlet temperature corresponded to ambient conditions at Sea Level, on a Standard Day (i.e. 288.15K).

Corrected Speed, N/{\sqrt{\theta}}, can be calculated as follows:

N/\sqrt{\theta} = N/\sqrt{T/288.15}

Corrected Speed is often abbreviated to Nc or Nr (for Referred Speed).

So-called Non-Dimensional Speed (N/\sqrt{T}) is proportional to Corrected Speed:

N/\sqrt{T}= (N/\sqrt{\theta}) / \sqrt{288.15}

Nomenclature:

In relative form, Corrected Speed, Referred Speed and Non-Dimensional Speed are all measures of peripheral Mach number.
