Infinitely long enclosure formed by three planar or convex surfaces

 

 

Function F2D_11(A1, A2, A3) returns the view factor from on planar or convex surface to a second planar on convex surface in an enclosure that extends to infinity in the direction into the screen.  

 

Inputs:

A1 = the area per unit width into the screen of convex or planar surface 1 [m or ft]

A2 = the area per unit width into the screen  of convex or planar surface 2 [m or ft]

A3 = the area of a surface which forms the enclosure  [m or ft]

 

Example:  

$UnitSystem SI K Pa J deg

A1=1 [m]

A2=1 [m]

A3=1 [m]

F=F2D_11(A1, A2, A3) 

 

{Solution:  F=0.5}
