calcChamberGeometryCylinder

Description

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

Usage

calcChamberGeometryCylinder(radius, height, 
    taper = 1)

Arguments

radius	the inner radius of the cylinder in m
height	the inner height of the cyclinder 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

Value

a vector with components

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