redefinition of RATIO_JET_ROUND and RATIO_JET_PLANE #83

Closed monroews closed 6 years ago

monroews commented 6 years ago

These two constants are not referenced anywhere in our code base yet. I'm changing their definition to be consistent with the friction factor notation. Their new values are given below.

The influence of viscosity on mixing in jet reactors

RATIO_JET_ROUND = 0.08

This is an estimate for plane jets as created in the flocculator and

in the sed tank jet reverser.

RATIO_JET_PLANE =0.0124

eak24 commented 6 years ago

Is this done?

monroews commented 6 years ago

I didn't edit these values in the constants file.

oliver-leung commented 6 years ago

@monroews @ethan92429 This has been done on the refactor_names branch.

For context, what does "round" in RATIO_JET_ROUND mean?

monroews commented 6 years ago

Round means it is for a jet coming out of a round pipe or orifice. We also have a RATIO_JET_PLANE which means it is a jet that has a width and is infinitely long in the other direction. Okay... not quite that long, but as long as an AguaClara sedimentation tank.
