Thermimage (version 2.0)

Reynolds: Calculates the Reynolds number.

Description

Calculates the Reynolds number, a unitless measure.

Usage

Reynolds(V, L, v)

Arguments

V

Air velocity in m/s

L

The characteristic dimension, usually the vertical dimension. For reference, a cylinder's characteristic L would be its height, assuming it is standing on its end This L should be the same L as is used for the convective coefficient calculation

v

The kinematic viscosity returned from function airviscosity (Ta).

##---- Should be DIRECTLY executable !! ----
##-- ==>  Define data, use random,
##--	or do  help(data=index)  for the standard data sets.

## The function is currently defined as
function (V, L, v) 
{
  v<-airviscosity(Ta)
  Re<-V*L/v
  }
