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
