tealeaves (version 1.0.3)

.get_sh: Sh: Sherwood number

Description

Sh: Sherwood number

Usage

.get_sh(T_leaf, surface, pars, unitless)

Arguments

T_leaf

Leaf temperature in Kelvin

surface

Leaf surface (lower or upper)

pars

Concatenated parameters (leaf_par, enviro_par, and constants)

unitless

Logical. Should function use parameters with units? The function is faster when FALSE, but input must be in correct units or else results will be incorrect without any warning.

Value

A unitless number of class units

Details

The Sherwood number depends on a combination how much free or forced convection predominates. For mixed convection:

$$Sh = (a Re ^ b) ^ {3.5} + (c Gr ^ d) ^ {3.5}) ^ {1 / 3.5}$$

Symbol	R	Description	Units	Default
\(a, b, c, d\)	a, b, c, d	empirical coefficients	none	calculated
\(Gr\)	Gr	Grashof number	none	calculated

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(tealeaves)

cs <- make_constants()
ep <- make_enviropar()
lp <- make_leafpar()

T_leaf <- set_units(298.15, K)

tealeaves:::.get_sh(T_leaf, "lower", c(cs, ep, lp), FALSE)
