Interior of an infinite semicylinder to itself with infinite cylinder interposed



Function f2d_8(r1, r2) returns the view factor from an infinite semicircle to itself while an infinite cylinder is positioned at the center of the semicircle.

Inputs:
r1 = the radius of the cylinder  [m or ft]
r2 = the radius of the semicylinder [m or ft]

Example:  
$UnitSystem SI K Pa J deg
r1=0.1 [m]
r2=0.2 [m]
F=f2d_8(r1, r2)

{Solution: F=0.282}
