DuctDamperParallel_Cl
Returns the pressure drop associated with a damper that has parallel vanes given the fluid, its flow rate and state, the upstream area, and the vane angle. This function calls the K_damper_parallel function from the minor loss library.
DELTAP = DuctDamperParallel_CL(F$, m_dot, T, P, A, theta)
Inputs:
F$: fluid string identifier
m_dot: mass flow rate (kg/s, lbm/hr)
T: inlet temperature (K, C, F, or R)
P: inlet pressure (bar, atm, Pa, kPa, or MPa)
A: upstream duct area (m^2 or ft^2)
theta: vane angle (radian or degree)
Output:
DELTAP: pressure drop (bar, atm, Pa kPa, or MPa)

$VarInfo DP units=Pa
m_dot = 0.5 [kg/s]
T = 300 [K]
P = 100e3 [Pa]
A = 0.05 [m^2]
F$ = 'Air'
theta = 50 [degree]
DP = DuctDamperParallel_CL(F$, m_dot, T, P, A, theta)
{Solution:
DP = 524.5 [Pa]}
