Click For Summary

The discussion centers on calculating the view factor F2-2 in a specific geometric configuration. The original poster, Pranav, initially attempted to use the crossed string method but expressed uncertainty about its accuracy. After further effort, Pranav successfully found the solution to the problem. The conversation highlights the challenges in calculating view factors in radiation and the importance of persistence in problem-solving. Ultimately, the query was resolved through continued exploration of the topic.

Hi,

I need help in calculating the view factor F2-2 in the geometry that attached below.

I tried to use the crossed string method for calculating the view factors but I'm not sure if its right.

can anybody give a hint how do I find the view factor F2-2?

Thanks,
Pranav

Anyways, I found the answer after trying for some more time!

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
