dot-get_sh: Sh: Sherwood number

In muir-lab/tleavesMC: Schymanski Equation

Description

Sh: Sherwood number

Usage

.get_sh(T_leaf, surface, pars, unitless)

Arguments

T_leaf	Leaf temperature in Kelvin
surface	Leaf surface (lower or upper)
pars	Concatenated parameters (leaf_par, enviro_par, and constants)
unitless	Logical. Should function use parameters with units? The function is faster when FALSE, but input must be in correct units or else results will be incorrect without any warning.

Details

The Sherwood number depends on a combination how much free or forced convection predominates. For mixed convection:

Sh = (a Re ^ b) ^ 3.5 + (c Gr ^ d) ^ 3.5) ^ (1 / 3.5)

Symbol	R	Description	Units	Default
a, b, c, d	a, b, c, d	empirical coefficients	none	calculated
Gr	Gr	Grashof number	none	calculated
Re	Re	Reynolds number	none	calculated

Value

A unitless number of class units

Examples

library(tealeaves)

cs <- make_constants()
ep <- make_enviropar()
lp <- make_leafpar()

T_leaf <- set_units(298.15, K)

tealeaves:::.get_sh(T_leaf, "lower", c(cs, ep, lp), FALSE)
