heat conduction cylinder wall This calculation determines the heat transfer through a cylinder wall by conduction.

Heat Transfer by Conduction through a Cylindrical Wall calculator

\(\large{ Q_c = \frac { 2 \; \pi \; k \; l \; \left( T_1 \;-\; T_2 \right) } { ln \; \left( \frac {r_2 }{ r_1 } \right) } }\)

\(\large{ Q_c }\) = heat transfer by conduction

\(\large{ l }\) = length of material

\(\large{ r_1 }\) = radius inside diameter (ID)

\(\large{ r_2 }\) = radius outside diameter (OD)

\(\large{ T_1 }\) = temperature of one surface of the wall

\(\large{ T_2 }\) = temperature of the other surface of the wall
