Element on longitudinal strip on inside of right circular cylinder to annual space at one end between concentric cylinders

 

 

FDiff_15(r1, r2, z) provides the view factor from a differential element (1) on a longitudinal strip on the inside of right circular cylinder with radius r2 to the annular space at one end (2) formed between concentric cylinders with radii r1 and r2.  

 

Inputs:

r1   is the radius of the smaller concentric cylinder [m or ft]

r2  is the radius of the larger concentric cylinder cylinder [m or ft]

z  is the height of the element above the base  [m or ft]

 

Example:  

$UnitSystem SI K Pa J deg

r1=0.2 [m]

r2=0.3 [m]

z=0.3 [m]

F=FDiff_15(r1, r2, z)

 

{Solution: F =0.2966}
