Abstract

A simpler formulation is developed for radiative view factor from a sphere to a class of axisymmetric bodies. This new formulation is semi-analytical in nature and only requires a single numerical integration at most. The present solutions for the configurations of sphere-cone and sphere-spherical cap systems are found to agree well with those published earlier using quadrupole integration. With the present technique, the view factors are also obtained for several important geometries for which no solutions have previously appeared in the open literature.
