FC_Vertical_Channel_ND
Procedure FC_Vertical_Channel_ND(Ra, LoverS : Nusselt) returns the Nusselt number in a rectangular open vertical channel through which a fluid is flowing by free convection as described in section 6.2.5 of Nellis and Klein. See FC_Vertical_Channel for a dimensional correlation for this geometry.
Inputs:
Ra - Raleigh number [ ] based on S, the channel spacing
LoverS - ratio of the height (H) to the channel spacing
Outputs:
Nusselt - Nusselt number [-]
Notes:
The correlation is from Elenbaas (1942)
Example:
Ra=1e6
LoverS=10
Call fc_vertical_channel_nd(Ra,LoverS:Nusselt)
{Solution:
Nusselt=10.66}
