FrictionLaminar:

Path: Thermal/HeatExchanger

% Computes the laminar friction.

 Turbulent flow generally happens for rE > 1e4.

 Type FrictionLaminar for a demo. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   f = FrictionLaminar( rE, type )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   rE        (1,:)	Reynold's number
   type      (1,:) 'square', 'circular' 'flat plates'

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   f         (1,:)	Friction factor
