Infinitely long opposed parallel plates

 

 

Function F2D_1(h, w) returns the view factor between two infinitely long, directly opposed parallel plates of the same finite width.

 

Inputs:

h is the distance between the plates [m or ft]

w is the width of the plate [m or ft]

 

Example: 

h=1 [m] 

w=2 [m]

F=F2D_1(h, w)

 

{Solution: F=0.618}
