PrandtlNumber:

Path: Thermal/HeatExchanger

% Computes the Prandtl Number.

 Pr << 1, thermal diffusivity dominates. 
 Pr >> 1, momentum diffusivity dominates. 

 Type PrandtlNumber for a demo. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   pR = PrandtlNumber( mu, cP, k )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   mu    (1,:) Viscosity of the gas (kg/m-s)
   cP    (1,:) Heat capacity (J/kg)
   k     (1,:) Thermal conductivity of the gas (W/(m K))

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   pR    (1,:)	Prandtl Number
