SF_24

 

 

Function SF_24 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for conduction through a plane wall.

 

Inputs:

 L = thickness of wall ([m] or [ft])

 A = area of wall ([m^2] or [ft^2])

 

Example: SF = SF_24(L, A)

Example:

$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa Radian

$VarInfo L, SF units=m

$VarInfo A units = m^2

L = 0.1 [m]

A = 1 [m^2]

SF = SF_24(L, A)

 

{Solution:

SF = 10 [m]}
