In this paper, a temperature recovery factor defined as the ratio of the actual temperature rise at the wall to the maximum possible temperature rise were estimated from experimentally measured wall temperatures and pressures to determine the velocity and temperature of gas through an adiabatic microtube. The experiments were carried out using two pairs of stainless steel microtubes with D=528.4 and 754.2 μm. One of a pair was tested for measurements of local pressures to obtain local Mach numbers and bulk temperatures. And the other of a pair was tested for measurements of local wall temperatures. The stagnation pressure with the atmospheric back pressure was chosen in such a way that the outlet flow reached sufficiently choked. Local total and bulk temperatures were obtained with total and static enthalpies determined with the measured stagnation & local pressures, stagnation temperatures, mass flow rates by real gas manner. In order to estimate the temperature recovery factor, the measured wall temperature and the obtained total temperature were normalized by bulk temperature and represented as Mach numbers. The estimated values of the temperature recovery factor were independent of the Mach number. The present estimated temperature recovery factor was compared with numerical and experimental ones obtained with the assumption of an ideal gas.
