Temperature probe

A method of determining a temperature in a gas flow, the method comprising:

• measuring a flow temperature in a gas flow via a temperature probe, the temperature probe including:
• a probe body;
• and
• at least two temperature sensors wherein a first temperature sensor is provided as a free flow temperature sensor to measure a free flow temperature of the gas flow and a second temperature sensor is provided as a total temperature sensor to measure a total temperature of the gas flow;
• wherein the probe body is shaped to provide a flow stagnation area, the flow stagnation area being provided and configured to convert at least 90% of kinetic energy of an incoming flow into thermal energy, wherein the second temperature sensor is located in a gas volume in said stagnation area;
• and
• wherein the stagnation area is provided as a stagnation cavity in the probe body, the stagnation cavity being provided as a blind cavity and the stagnation cavity opening out to an exterior of the probe body with a flow receiving opening, the flow receiving opening being provided at one end of the stagnation cavity and a blind end being provided on an opposite end of the stagnation cavity;
• recovering the kinetic energy of the flowing gas and converting the kinetic energy into thermal energy via the gas volume of the temperature probe;
• and
• measuring a total temperature in the gas volume via the second temperature sensor.
