Infinite plane to a row of infinite cylinders



Function f2d_7(d,s) returns the view factor from an infinite plane to a row of infinite cylinders that parallel to each other.

Inputs:
d = the diameter of the cylinders [m or ft]
s = the distance between the cylinders' axes [m or ft]

Example:  
$UnitSystem SI K Pa J deg
d=0.1 [m]
s=0.2 [m]
F=f2d_7(d,s)

{Solution:
F=0.6576}
