Outer surface of a small cylinder to the inner surface of a large cylinder when the small cylinder extends beyond the large cylinder on both ends.

 

 

Function F3D_24(x,y,z,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 extends beyond the large cylinder on both ends.

 

Inputs:

x = distance that small cylinder extends on the left [m or ft]

y = length of large cylinder [m or ft]

z = distance that small cylinder extends on the right [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 deg

x=0.1 [m]

y=0.2 [m]

z=0.1 [m]

r1=0.05 [m]

r2=0.1 [m]

F = F3D_24(x,y,z,r1,r2)

 

{Solution: F=0.4928}
