Small sphere to a large sphere

 

 

Function F3D_22(r_1,r_2,s) returns the view factor between a smaller sphere to a larger sphere.  

 

Inputs:

r_1 = radius of the smaller sphere [m or ft]

r_2 = radius of the larger sphere [m or ft]

s = center-to-center distance between the spheres[m or ft]

 

Example: 

$UnitSystem SI K Pa J deg

r_1=0.1 [m]

r_2=0.2 [m]

s=0.5[m]

F = F3D_22(r_1,r_2,s)

 

{Solution: F=0.04174}

 

Note that s must be greater than r_1+r_2.
