SF_10

SF_10

Function SF_10 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for conduction between two parallel plates with infinite width and a circular cylinder of equal length to the plates, and positioned midway between the plates.

Inputs:
D = diameter of cylinder ([m] or [ft])
w = distance from cylinder axis to wall ([m] or [ft])
L = length of wall and cylinder ([m] or [ft])

Example: SF = SF_10(D, w, L)
