Cylinder_Q_ND

 

 

Function cylinder_Q_ND(Fo, Bi) returns the non-dimensional heat transfer within a long circular cylinder with the outside edge exposed to convection (r=r_o). The supplied values, Fo, Bi represent the Fourier number and Biot number respectively.  A separation of variable technique is used as described in Section 3.5.2 of Nellis and Klein.
