Control volume
inside a big
system. So heat
transfer is 3D not
1D.
Perfect insulation, means at x=0, No heat flux, Q=0

Because of symmetry, we
have the same
temperature a 0 and L At
the center, no heat flux
at the center so we
assume at x=L/2, heat
flux is Q=0

KA1 dt(r1)/dr = Q1losses at r1 where A= 2piRL
(conduction)

Heat loss at r1 is the same at r2 because steady state.

The energy leaving r1 is the same leaving r2.
