Why not define

AH[Ts_,Th_,Tr_,f_,w_,i_] := Which[
   NumericQ[Ts] && NumericQ[Th],  1,
   NumericQ[Ts] && NumericQ[Tr],  2,
   NumericQ[Ts] && NumericQ[f ],  3,
   NumericQ[Ts] && NumericQ[w ],  4,
   NumericQ[Ts] && NumericQ[i ],  5,
   NumericQ[Th] && NumericQ[Tr],  6,
   NumericQ[Th] && NumericQ[f ],  7,
   NumericQ[Th] && NumericQ[w ],  8,
   NumericQ[Th] && NumericQ[i ],  9,
   NumericQ[Tr] && NumericQ[f ], 10,
   NumericQ[Tr] && NumericQ[w ], 11,
   NumericQ[Tr] && NumericQ[i ], 12,
   NumericQ[f ] && NumericQ[w ], 13,
   NumericQ[f ] && NumericQ[i ], 14,
   NumericQ[w ] && NumericQ[i ], 15]

Then, if you really need a variable named "tipo" to hold the value,
you can say  tipo = AH[...].  Otherwise, simply use  AH[...].
