Logarithmic Mean Area of a Cylinder Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Logarithmic Mean Area = (Outer Area of the Cylinder-Inner Area of the Cylinder)/ln(Outer Area of the Cylinder/Inner Area of the Cylinder)
A_mean = (A_o-A_i)/ln(A_o/A_i)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

ln - Natural logarithm function (base e), ln(Number)

Variables Used

Logarithmic Mean Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Logarithmic mean area tells us what should be the area of a conducting wall in terms of the area of a cylindrical surface so that their heat resistances are same .
Outer Area of the Cylinder - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Outer area of the Cylinder gives the area of the outer part of the Cylinder.
Inner Area of the Cylinder - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Inner area of the Cylinder gives the area of the inner part of the Cylinder.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outer Area of the Cylinder: 10 Square Meter --> 10 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Inner Area of the Cylinder: 8 Square Meter --> 8 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

A_mean = (A_o-A_i)/ln(A_o/A_i)

Why do we calculate Logarithmic Mean Area ?

If heat transfer is taking place from a cylinder, so if we want to find out the area of slab for the same amount of heat transfer then log mean area is used, as heat transfer area in case of cylinder is continuously varying from inner radius to outer radius, so the utility of log mean area is to deduce a constant area for the same amount of heat transfer.

How to Calculate Logarithmic Mean Area of a Cylinder?

Logarithmic Mean Area of a Cylinder calculator uses Logarithmic Mean Area = (Outer Area of the Cylinder-Inner Area of the Cylinder)/ln(Outer Area of the Cylinder/Inner Area of the Cylinder) to calculate the Logarithmic Mean Area, Logarithmic mean area of a Cylinder tells us what should be the area of a conducting wall in terms of the area of a cylindrical surface so that their heat resistances are same. Logarithmic Mean Area is denoted by A_mean symbol.
