Q = -KA dT/dx ---> 1
But for cylinder;
A=2*π *r*L----------> 2
and dx = dr---------->3
Substitute 2 and 3 into 1 and integrate;
Q=(T1-T2)/((1/2pkL)*ln(r2/r1)----> LMTD
=> we use Ac= 2prL.
But for cylinder;
A=2*π *r*L----------> 2
and dx = dr---------->3
Substitute 2 and 3 into 1 and integrate;
Q=(T1-T2)/((1/2pkL)*ln(r2/r1)----> LMTD
=> we use Ac= 2prL.

Yes due to radius ratio.

The formula of heat transfer by conduction in cylindrical coordinate is:
q=2*π*k*L*(T1-T2)/ln(r2/r1).
So, the area used in case of heat flow by conduction through a cylinder is the logarithmic mean area.
q=2*π*k*L*(T1-T2)/ln(r2/r1).
So, the area used in case of heat flow by conduction through a cylinder is the logarithmic mean area.

Just go through the derivation, and you will know the reason.

Why using this area? any reason behind it ?
