Experience from modelling the Vulcain shows that heat transfer rates are overpredicted by bamboo - and I think it's likely due to the gas side convective heat transfer resistance being underestimated.
Would be useful for the user to be able to add a "fudge factor" to multiply the gas side resistance by. My initial estimate is that a factor of 1.2 or 1.3 might reasonable, but could just try running the Vulcain simulation in the future to see what fudge factor makes the data match.
