Mathematical model of Heat Transfer Coefficient through the annulus gap between concentric pipes filled with solid body:

U = \frac{\lambda}{r_{in} \cdot \ln (r_{out}/r_{in})} 

where

thermal conductivity of the solid body

inner radius of outer pipe

outer radius of inner pipe


For the thin walls  the  equation simplifies to:

U = \frac{\lambda}{h} 

where

wall thickness
