Plane element dA_1 to a parallel disk



Function FDiff_16(H, a, R) returns the view factor from a differential area to a disk in a parallel plane.

The calling protocol is:

F= FDiff_16(H, a, R)

Inputs:
H distance between plane of disk and plane of differential area [m or ft]
a distance between center of disk and differential area in the plane of the disk [m or ft]
R radius of the disk [m or ft]

Example: 
$UnitSystem SI
H=1 [m]
a=0.5 [m]
R=1 [m]
F = fdiff_16(H, a, R)

{Solution:
F=0.4380}
