F2D_2

Infinitely long plates at angle alpha

Function f2d_2(alpha, w) returns the view factor between two infinitely long plates of the same finite width having a common edge and having an included angle a to each other.

Inputs:
alpha is the angle between the plates [° or radians]
w is the width of each plate [m or ft]

Example:
$UnitSystem SI K Pa J deg
alpha=45[°]
w=1 [m]
F=f2d_2(alpha, w)

{Solution:
F=0.6173}
