Eq. 1

Tr = T + [ 1 - ( ( Keff - Ko) / ( Keff + 2 Ko ) · ( ( R / r )3 ) ] A · R · cos(Θ)

Where:

T = Initial Temperature (K)
Keff = Effective Thermal Conductivity (J/ft s K)
Ko = Thermal Conductivity of Solid (J/ft s K)
R = Effective Radius (ft)
r = Distance from Center (ft)
A = Temperature Gradient (K/ft)
Θ = Position of Substance from Center (rad)
Tr = Temperature at R (K)
