Evaluation of View Factor

1. The document discusses various cases for evaluating the view factor (F) between surfaces. 2. Special cases where F=1 include parallel planes of equal area and a body completely enclosed by another much larger enclosing body. 3. Formulas and diagrams are provided for calculating the view factor between configurations such as parallel planes, perpendicular rectangles, radiating planes and tubes, inclined planes, planes of unequal widths, planes and cylinders, spheres and disks, and parallel disks.
