SF_16




Function SF_16 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for conduction between a thin strip and the exterior of an elliptical body.

Inputs:
a = half-width of strip ([m] or [ft])
c = major radius of ellipse ([m] or [ft])
d = minor radius of ellipse ([m] or [ft])
L = length of beam ([m] or [ft])

Example:  SF =  SF_16(a, c, d, L)
