By the fast expansion method, the authors have obtained the approximate solution of the problem in analytical form, which holds true at all points of the cylinder up to the boundary. From an analysis of the solution, it follows that the broken thermal contact between annular regions gives rise to a weak thermal resistance. Beginning with four annular regions, the thermal resistance remains constant,...
