In the model’s parameter script it has various properties for the regenerator including reynold’s number. i know how reynold’s number is caluclated but i cant understand how the assumingly conductive shape factor is calculated and why is it put into Shape factor for laminar flow viscous friction tab in pipe block
regenerator.geometry.length = geometry.displacer_piston.length – 2*crank_wheel.slidercrank_disp.crank_radius;
regenerator.geometry.area = A;
regenerator.geometry.hydraulic_diam = 4*A/P;
regenerator.fric_therm.length_add = 0.01*regenerator.geometry.length;
regenerator.fric_therm.roughness = 15e-6; %[m]
regenerator.fric_therm.Re_lam = 2000;
regenerator.fric_therm.Re_tur = 4000;
regenerator.fric_therm.shape_factor = 64;
