CONDUCTION HEAT TRANSFER THRU CYLINDRICAL WALL

From Fourier’s equation,

Q = – k A dT/dx
note:
A = 2π r L
(surface area normal to heat flow direction)
Q = – k 2 π r L dT/dr
Q / 2πkL ( ʃdr/r) = – ʃ dT
Q / 2πkL (ln r2/r1) = (T1-T2)

also

Q = 2π r1 L k (T1-T2) = A1 k (T1-T2)
r1 (ln r2/r1) r1 (ln r2/r1)

Q = 2π r2 L k (T1-T2) = A2 k (T1-T2)
r2 (ln r2/r1) r2 (ln r2/r1)
