Not true as I understand.Definitely not reliable, but I would say it's a good rough indicator at the exhaust temperature and fuel/oxygen burning rate.
With all jokes aside.
How did you become interested in Chinese defense?
Are you from China?
um there is a direct relationship between color and temperature.Color is determined by the emitter's EM spectrum/frequency. Temperature is determined by the energe release in a given time. There is no direct relationship between them.
Maxwell boltzmann distribution. Now given I'm not an expert in physics perhaps there's some more consideration to be made for exhausts in jet engines?um there is a direct relationship between color and temperature.
Not to be confused with spectral lines.
The hotter the something is the lower the wavelength of the peak of the em spectrum coming off it.
Glowing red embers are cooler than a yellow flame which is cooler than a blue flame.
The exhaust gas is the source of the color, there is no exceptions for jet engines.Maxwell boltzmann distribution. Now given I'm not an expert in physics perhaps there's some more consideration to be made for exhausts in jet engines?

It's funny because I remember the excitement here on SDF. Geez I'm dating myself .. i guess I've been here a very long time as well.On this day 13 years ago, the J-20 took its first flight. Honestly amazing just how far it's come since then
