SF_12

SF_12

Function SF_12 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for conduction between a cylinder centered in a square beam, and the exterior surface of the beam.

Inputs:
D = diameter of cylinder ([m] or [ft])
w = length of square edges ([m] or [ft])
L = length of square solid and cylinder ([m] or [ft])

Example: SF = SF_12(D, w, L)
