SF_12

 

 

 

Function SF_12 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for conduction between a cylinder centered in a square beam, and the exterior surface of the beam.

 

Inputs:

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

 w = length of square edges ([m] or [ft])

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

 

Example:  SF =  SF_12(D, w, L)
