Outer surface of a small cylinder to the inner surface of a large cylinder when the small cylinder is completely outside of the large cylinder

 

 

Function F3D_23(l,d,y,r1,r2) returns the view factor between the outer surface of a small cylinder to the inner surface of a large cylinder when the small cylinder is completely outside of the large cylinder.

 

Inputs:

l = length of the smaller cylinder [m or ft]

d = distance between the ends of the cylinders [m or ft]

y = length of the larger cylinder [m or ft]

r1 = radius of the smaller cylinder [m or ft]

r2 = radius of the larger cylinder [m or ft]

 

Example: 

$UnitSystem SI K Pa J rad

L=0.1 [m]

d=0.05 [m]

y=0.5 [m]

r1=0.1 [m]

r2=0.2 [m]

F = F3D_23(l,d,y,r1,r2)

 

{Solution: F=0.1222}
