Question
Is neutral temperature always the arithmetic mean of inversion temperature and the temperature of the cold junction? Does the unit of temperature have an effect in deciding this question?

Answer

Yes, neutral temperature is arithmetic mean of cold junction temperature and inversion temperature.
No, units of temperature does not affects this equation.
