For a spherical shell with inner and outer radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively,the formula for the heat flow rate is = ......... where $T_1$ and $T_2$ are the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the shell $(T_1 > T_2)$. The thermal conductivity of the material of the shell is $k$.

  • A
    $\frac{{4\pi k{r_1}{r_2}({T_2} - {T_1})}}{{{r_2} - {r_1}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{4\pi k{r_1}{r_2}({T_2} - {T_1})}}{{{r_1} - {r_2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{4\pi k({T_1} - {T_2})}}{{\left[ {\frac{1}{{{r_1}}} - \frac{1}{{{r_2}}}} \right]}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{4\pi k{r_1}{r_2}({T_1} - {T_2})}}{{\left[ {\frac{1}{{{r_2}}} - \frac{1}{{{r_1}}}} \right]}}$
