A hollow cylinder has length $$L,$$ inner radius $${{r_1}}$$, outer radius $${{r_2}}$$, and thermal conductivity $$k.$$ The thermal resistance of the cylinder for radial conduction is

If a foam insulation is added to a $$4cm$$ outer diameter pipe as shown as figure, the critical radius of insulation (in $$cm$$) is ________.

As the temperature increases, the thermal conductivity of a gas

Consider a long cylindrical tube of inner and outer radii, $${r_i}$$ and $${r_0}$$ , respectively, length, $$L$$ and thermal conductivity, $$k.$$ Its inner and outer surfaces are maintained at $${T_i}$$ and $${T_0}$$ , respectively $$\left( {{T_i}\,\,\, > \,\,\,{T_0}} \right).$$ Assuming one-dimensional steady state heat conduction in the radial direction, the thermal resistance in the wall of the tube is
