calcChamberGeometryCuboid: calcChamberGeometryCuboid

In bgctw/RespChamberProc: Processing Data from Respiration Chambers

calcChamberGeometryCuboid

Description

Calculate the inner volume of the chamber and the enclosed respiring surface area for a cuboid shaped chamber.

Usage

calcChamberGeometryCuboid(width, depth, height, 
    taper = 1)

Arguments

width	the inner length of one basal edge in m
depth	the inner length of the other basal edge in m
height	the inner height of the chamber in m
taper	A form factor describing a linear taper of the chamber. 1.0 is equal to no taper.

Details

the respiring surface is assumed to be the basal area of the chamber

There are functions for other geometries

• Cylinder: calcChamberGeometryCylinder

Value

a vector with components

chamberVolume	the volume inside the chamber in cubic meters
respArea	the basal aera of the cylinder in square meters
