% Computes the Nusselt number for laminar flow.
Developing laminar flow of air in a circular pipe with uniform wall
temperature.
Type NusseltLaminar for a demo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
nU = NusseltLaminar( g, type )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
g (1,:) x/D/(RePr)
type (1,:) hfd or tfd
hfd - hydrodynamic fully developed flow (default)
tfd - thermal fully developed flow
-------
Outputs
-------
nU (1,:) Nusselt number
