How is the Shape Factor calculated?

The shape factor, also known as the view factor, is calculated based on the geometric relationship between two surfaces, considering their orientation, size, and distance from each other. It quantifies the fraction of radiation leaving one surface that directly reaches another. The calculation typically involves integrating the angles and areas between the surfaces, using methods such as analytical formulas, numerical techniques, or charts for specific geometries. Shape factors are essential in heat transfer analysis, especially in radiation exchange between surfaces.
