Shape factor for a cylinder whose length equals its diameter is_________________?

Correct answer: A. 1.5

  • A. 1.5
  • B. 0.5
  • C. 1.0
  • D. 2.0

Explanation

For a cylinder whose length equals its diameter, the usual unit-operations shape-factor value is 1.5, reflecting its surface geometry relative to the diameter-based reference. It is therefore not treated as a sphere with shape factor 1.0.
