View Factors
The use of view factors in radiation heat transfer calculations is presented in Section 10.3.2 of Nellis and Klein. This help file provides input and reference information relating to the view factor library. The library is broken into the categories shown below. Click on the category to see pictures of the geometry corresponding to each view factor. Then click on the picture to obtain the view factor information for that geometry.
View factors are non-dimensional. However, the inputs the view factor functions may be dimensionsal. The units of the inputs will depend on the unit settings in EES.
