Popis: Closed-form expressions of geometric view factors between a vertical or horizontal receiving element and an inclined cylinder are determined. They are obtained by means of the very convenient contour integration method. The complexity of the resulting expression illustrates well the difficulty encountered in accounting the geometric relations involved in how the implicated surfaces view each other. Some simplified cases for which similar expressions are published in the literature are accounted for to prove the correctness of the more general expressions presented. The view-factors are very useful, particularly in the computation of radiative heat transfer from fires developed in the open. 5 refs., 1 fig.
