F3D_18

Inner Surface of a Right Circular Cylinder to Itself

Function f3d_18(r, h) returns the view factor between the inner surface of a right circular cylinder (surface 1) and itself.

Inputs:
r = radius of the cylinder [m or ft]
h = height of the cylinder [m or ft]

Example:
$UnitSystem SI K Pa J rad
r=1 [m]
h=0.5 [m]
F=f3d_18(r, h)

{Solution:
F=0.2192}
