SF_10

 

 

 

Function SF_10 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for conduction between two parallel plates with infinite width and a circular cylinder of equal length to the plates, and positioned midway between the plates.

 

Inputs:

 D = diameter of cylinder ([m] or [ft])

 w = distance from cylinder axis to wall ([m] or [ft])

 L = length of wall and cylinder ([m] or [ft])

 

Example:  SF =  SF_10(D, w, L)
