Abstract

The purpose was to measure the heat conduction shape factors for cylinders and square prisms enclosed by spheres and to estimate the accuracy of the following approximation. This approximation is that of matching the area of the cylinder or prism to an equivalent sphere and then applying the analytical solution for concentric spheres.
