The reciprocity relation, Mathematics homework help
The reciprocity relation, the summation rule, and Equations 13.5 to 13.7 can be used to develop view factor relations that allow for applications of Figure 13.4 and/or 13.6 to more complex configurations. Consider the view factor F14 for surfaces 1 and 4 of the following geometry. These surfaces are perpendicular but do not share a common edge.
(a) Obtain the following expression for the view factor F14:
(b) If L1 = L2 = L4 = (W/2) and L3 = W, what is the value of F14?
