|---|
|
\frac{1}{ r_{ti} \, U} = \frac{1}{r_{ti} \, U_{ti}} + \frac{1}{r_{ti} \, U_t} +
\frac{1}{d_{ann} \, U_{ann}} +
\frac{1}{r_{ci} \, U_c} + \frac{1}{r_c \, U_{cem}} |
where
The equation

|
\frac{1}{ r_{ti} \, U} = \frac{2}{\lambda \, {\rm Nu}_{ti}} + \frac{1}{\lambda_t} \, \ln \frac{r_t}{r_{ti}}
+ \frac{1}{\lambda_{ann} \, {\rm Nu}_{ann}} +
\frac{1}{\lambda_c} \ln \frac{r_c}{r_{ci}} + \frac{1}{\lambda_{cem}} \ln \frac{r_w}{r_c} |
