The heat conduction equation in cylindrical coordinates is
(a) Simplify this equation by eliminating terms equal to zero for the case of steady-state heat flow
without sources or sinks around a right-angle corner such as the one in the accompanying
sketch. It may be assumed that the corner extends to infinity in the direction perpendicular to
the page. (b) Solve the resulting equation for the temperature distribution by substituting the
boundary condition. (c) Determine the rate of heat flow from T1 to T2. Assume k = 1 W/(m K)
