Remove velocity input for all functions. Only require Reynolds numbers and Prandtl number. #16

Open lcarasik opened 6 years ago

lcarasik commented 6 years ago

The current pressure drop function for GG includes the Reynolds number as an input. This should be directly calculated from the provided free stream velocity.

lcarasik commented 6 years ago

This should actually be done where Reynolds number and Prandtl number is an input to each function. The Reynolds number and others should be calculated in a wrapper for the user to use.

This will require the following:

[ ] Add function to calculate Reynolds number for both in-line and staggered geometries.
[ ] Update friction factor GG
[ ] Update friction factor Zu
[ ] Update Nusselt GG
[ ] Update Nusselt Zu
[ ] Updating the master_example.py
