Problem

Heat flows radially outward through a spherical shell of outside radius r2r_2 and inner radius r1r_1. The temperature of the inner surface is θ1\theta_1 and that of the outer surface is θ2\theta_2. At what radial distance from the centre of the shell is the temperature halfway between θ1\theta_1 and θ2\theta_2?
