Heat Transfer Radiation View Factor Guide

1. This document discusses heat transfer by radiation and the evaluation of view factors between different geometric shapes. It provides 10 cases of view factor calculations between various shapes such as parallel planes, rectangles, tubes, cylinders, spheres, and disks. 2. Formulas are given for calculating the view factor between two parallel planes, two rectangles with a common side, a plane and parallel cylinders, two infinite planes with a common edge, and more cases. 3. Examples of figures from various references that illustrate the view factor calculations are referenced.
