% Determine optimal Multi-layer Insulation (MLI) density
Type OptimalMLIDensity for a demo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
d = OptimalMLIDensity; % data structure
[nD,q,C] = OptimalMLIDensity(tH,tC,d)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
tH (1,1) Hot temperature
tC (1,1) Cold temperature
d (.) Input data structure
.n (1,1) Number of layers
.cS (1,1) Conduction coefficient
.cR (1,1) Radiative coefficient
.gamma (1,1) Conduction exponent
.epsTR (1,1) Effective emissivity
-------
Outputs
-------
nD (1,:) MLI density (layers/cm)
q (1,:) Heat flux (W/m^2)
C (1,:) Conductance (W/m^2 K)
