Plane element dA_1 to a cylinder
Function fDiff_17(R, L, H) returns the view factor from a differential area to a cylinder when the area is facing the cylinder and located at its midpoint.
The calling protocol is:
F= FDiff_17(R, L, H)
Inputs:
R radius of the cylinder [m or ft]
L length of the cylinder [m or ft]
H distance between centerline of cylinder and area [m or ft]

Example:
$UnitSystem SI
R=1 [m]
H=1.5 [m]
L=2 [m]
F=fdiff_17(R,L,H)
{Solution:
F=0.6594}
