SF_25
Function SF_25 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for radial conduction through a hollow cylinder.
Inputs:
L = length of cylinder ([m] or [ft])
r_in = inner radius of cylinder ([m] or [ft])
r_out = outer radius of cylinder ([m] or [ft])
Example: SF = SF_25(L, rin, rout)

Example:
$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa Radian
$VarInfo L, r_in, r_out, SF units=m
L = 1 [m]
r_in = 0.1 [m]
r_out = 0.2 [m]
SF = SF_25(L, r_in, r_out)
{Solution:
SF = 9.065 [m]}
