AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the radiation view factor for various geometric configurations, including flat surfaces, spheres, and concentric spheres. Participants suggest consulting standard heat transfer textbooks for established formulas, particularly for concentric spheres. It is noted that view factors can be determined through area or contour integrations, although caution is advised with contour integration when distances between differential elements are small. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the geometry involved in these calculations. Accurate calculation methods are essential for effective thermal analysis in engineering applications.

how is radiation view factor calculated especially for the following cases
1-between a flat surface and a sphere
between two flat surfaces at 90
between two surfaces facing each other
between two spheres

How I could calculate veiw factor between two sphere tahat are concenteric
please help me
thank you
 
shoaib85: please refer to any standard book on heat transfer, view factor between concentric spheres can be easily found out using view factor algebra.
Baltistani: View factor between any pair of surfaces can be found by performing 4 area integrations or 2 contour integrations, but I'm not sure if contour integration can be used always, especially when the distance between any two differential element on both surface is less than unity since it gives negative results.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
