SF_27

 

 

Function SF_27(r_1, r_2) returns the shape factor for conduction through a truncated hemisphere.

 

The calling protocol is:

 

S= SF_27(r_1, r_2)

 

Inputs:

r_1 radius of the truncated surface [m or ft]

r_2 radius of the hemisphere [m or ft]

 

Output:

S shaper factor [m or ft]

Example: 

$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa

$VarInfo S units=m

r_1=0.022 [m]

r_2=0.044 [m]

S=sf_27(r_1, r_2)

 

{Solution: 

S=0.105 [m]}
