Variables Used
Outer Surface Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Outer Surface Temperature is the temperature at the outer surface of the wall either plane wall or cylindrical wall or spherical wall, etc.
Inner Surface Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Inner Surface Temperature is the temperature at the inner surface of the wall either plane wall or cylindrical wall or spherical wall, etc.
Heat Flow Rate - (Measured in Watt) - Heat Flow Rate is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material, usually measured in watt. Heat is the flow of thermal energy driven by thermal non-equilibrium.
Thermal Conductivity - (Measured in Watt per Meter per K) - Thermal Conductivity is rate of heat passes through specified material, expressed as amount of heat flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance.
Radius of 1st Concentric Sphere - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of 1st Concentric Sphere is the distance from the center of the concentric spheres to any point on the first concentric sphere or radius of the first sphere.
Radius of 2nd Concentric Sphere - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of 2nd Concentric Sphere is the distance from the center of the concentric spheres to any point on the second concentric sphere or radius of the second sphere.
