SF_27



Function SF_27(r_1, r_2) returns the shape factor for conduction through a truncated hemisphere.

The calling protocol is:

S= SF_27(r_1, r_2)

Inputs:
r_1 radius of the truncated surface [m or ft]
r_2 radius of the hemisphere [m or ft]

Output:
S shaper factor [m or ft]

Example: 
$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa
r_1=0.022 [m]
r_2=0.044 [m]
S=SF_27(r_1, r_2)

{Solution: 
S=0.105 [m]}
