The exhaust leaving the exhaust port cools because it expands. Putting a second probe further down the pipe will show a lower temperature IF the gases have expanded on their way to the second probe. On the other hand, if there is some restriction in the flow path (like a turbine) that has kept the pressure from dropping, then the temperature will not drop either. PV = nRT (still true 87 years after Nernst got his Nobel prize) There are second and third reasons why the TIT is typically higher than the open-pipe EGT. The lower compression ratio with the turbo engine means that the combustion gases have expanded (and cooled) less than in the normally-aspirated engine. Also, the turbo engine may have had a higher intake gas temperature (and pressure) before compression and combustion. -bob |
