Heat Transfer in Cylindrical Walls

This document discusses heat transfer in cylindrical coordinates where heat only flows radially and the temperature changes with time. It notes an equation is used when the Biot number is less than 0.1, conduction can be ignored and the temperature is assumed uniform. A graph for a cylinder should be used, not another one mentioned, and L refers to half the wall thickness since the full wall is 2L.
