Circular disk to parallel right triangle

 

 

Function F3D_58(r,d,l_1,l_2) returns the view factor between a circular disk and parallel right triangle that has one acute vertex aligned with the center.  

 

Inputs:

r = radius of the disk [m] or [ft]

d = distance between disk and triangle [m] or [ft]

l_1 = length of side of triangle that is opposite center [m] or [ft]

l_2 = length of side of triangle that is adjacent to center [m] or [ft]

 

Example: 

$UnitSystem SI Mass J K Pa Degree

r=0.5 [m]

d=1 [m]

l_1=5 [m]

l_2=0.7 [m]

F=F3D_58(r,d,l_1,l_2)

{F = 0.1194}
