Infinite plate to parallel infinite plate

 

 

Function F2D_14 returns the view factor an infinitely long flat plate to another, parallel infinitely long flat plate.  

 

The calling protocol is:

 

F=F2D_14(W1, W2, H, a)

 

Inputs:

W1: width of plate 1 (ft or m)

W2: width of plate 2 (ft or m)

H: separation distance between plates (ft or m)

a: distance between edge of plate 1 and edge of plate 2 (ft or m)

 

Example: 

$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa Radian

W1=1 [m]

W2=2 [m]

H=1.2 [m]

a=0.5 [m]

F=F2D_14(W1,W2,H,a)

 

{Solution

F=0.4261}
