F3D_54

Parallel regular hexagons

Function f3d_54(l,h) returns the view factor between parallel regular hexagons.

Inputs:
l = edge of hexagon [m] or [ft]
h = distance between the hexagons [m] or [ft]

Example:
$UnitSystem SI Pa J K m radian
h=0.25 [m]
l=0.5 [m]
F=f3d_54(l,h)

{Solution:
F=0.5671}
