The rate of heat flow per unit length q/L through a hollow cylinder of inside radius ri and outside radius ro is q/L = ( A k ?T)/(ro – ri) where A = 2? (ro – ri)/ln(ro/ri). Determine the per cent error in the rate of heat flow if the arithmetic mean area ? (ro + ri) is used instead of the logarithmic mean area A for ratios of outside to inside diameters (Do/Di) of 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0. Plot the results.

GIVEN
• A hollow cylinder
• Inside radius = ri
• Outside radius = ro
• Heat flow per unit length as given above
