Infinite cylinder to infinite cylinder of different radius

 

 

Function F2D_9(r_1,r_2,s) returns the view factor from an infinitely long cylinder of radius r_1 to a parallel infinitely long cylinder of radius r_2.

 

Inputs:

r_1 = the radius of the emitting cylinder  [m or ft]

r_2 = the radius of the recieving cylinder  [m or ft]

s = the distance between the cylinders measured from the closest points  [m or ft]

 

Example:  

$UnitSystem SI K Pa J deg

r_1=0.1 [m]

r_2=0.2 [m]

s=1 [m]

F = F2D_9(r_1,r_2,s)

 

{Solution: F=0.04922}
