Constraints

Direct

  • Total pipe length Nt*lt < 3.5m
  • Total length lt+2*l_plenum<0.35m
  • Total mass m<1.10kg

Indirect

  • plenum length must fit nozzles
    • 1-pass design has both plenum lengths lp>=0.04 -> lt<=0.27 so Nt>=13
    • 2-pass design has plenum lengths lp1>=0.04, lp2 unconstrained -> lt<=0.34 so Nt>=11
  • tube pitch must be greater than tube diameter Y>=DO, restricts number of tubes Nt to 47
