tubeTransmission

xripl.tubeTransmission.tubeTransmission(innerDiameter, outerDiameter, densityTube, densityFoam, opacityTube, opacityFoam, height)[source]

Calculates the transmission through a tube with foam at a given height (radial coordinate) through the tube.

innerDiameterfloat

Inner diameter of the tube, which is also the diameter of the foam. In units of centimeters.

outerDiameterfloat

Outer diameter of the tube. In units of centimeters.

densityTubefloat

Mass density of the tube material in grams per cubic centimeter.

densityFoamfloat

Mass density of the foam material in grams per cubic centimeter.

opacityTubefloat

Opacity of the tube material (aka mass attenuation coefficient) in squared centimeters per gram.

opacityFoamfloat

Opacity of the foam material (aka mass attenuation coefficient) in squared centimeters per gram.

heightfloat

Height at which to calculate the chord lengths through the tube and foam. In units of centimeters.
