The following is available in just about any aerodynamics or performance textbook - you should be able to check one out in your local library if it be of any size.

OAT = SAT

TAT = SAT(1 + kM^2/5)

Often, RAT is used to represent TAT in the equation above with a recovery loss, while TAT defines the full rise with no loss (k = 1).

If you play with your Jeppesen prayer wheel and compare the calculated answers, you should find a pretty close correlation. Temperatures in absolute units.
