Circular disk to parallel right triangle
Function f3d_58(r,d,l_1,l_2) returns the view factor between a circular disk and parallel right triangle that has one acute vertex aligned with the center.
Inputs:
r = radius of the disk [m] or [ft]
d = distance between disk and triangle [m] or [ft]
l_1 = length of side of triangle that is opposite center [m] or [ft]
l_2 = length of side of triangle that is adjacent to center [m] or [ft]
Example:
$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa Degree
r=0.5 [m]
d=1 [m]
l_1=5 [m]
l_2=0.7 [m]
F=f3d_58(r,d,l_1,l_2)
{Solution:
F = 0.1194}
