tubeThickness

xripl.tubeTransmission.tubeThickness(innerDiameter, outerDiameter, height)[source]

Calculates the chord lengths through the inner region (foam) and outer region (tube wall) for a given target. Here the tube is simply an anulus with the given inner and outer diameters as dimensions, and the region inside the tube is the “foam” region.

innerDiameterfloat

Inner diameter of the tube, which is also the diameter of the foam.

outerDiameterfloat

Outer diameter of the tube. Must be in same units as innerDiameter and height.

heightfloat

Height at which to calculate the chord lengths through the tube and foam.
