Long-Cylinder-to-Plane-H2 — Cylinder to Plane

Geometry Class
Cylinder to Plane
Geometry Id
Long Cylinder to Plane H2
Configuration Notes
H/R=2.0: F12=(1/pi)*arcsin(0.5)=(1/pi)*(pi/6)=1/6≈0.1667. This Is the View Factor From the Cylinder to the plane. the Infinite Plane F21 Is Found by Energy Balance on the enclosure.
Formula Expression
F12=(1/pi)*arcsin(r/h)=(1/pi)*arcsin(1/(h/r))
