Revise GG correlation to reflect additional coefficients (non-isothermal) #15

Open lcarasik opened 7 years ago

lcarasik commented 7 years ago

The GG correlation needs to be revised to add in thermal effects based on viscosity changes. This can be introduced for both laminar and turbulent coefficients. The current implementation is correct for isothermal, but this can be used to easily extend the pressure drop correlation.

This will be revised to make all of the corrections to be applied external to the functions themselves.

lcarasik commented 5 years ago

This is solely related to viscosity corrections which should be dependent if a gas or liquid is used. Such as gases use (T/Tw)^n vs. liquids use (mu/mu_w)^n for the correction term.
