Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii
and
, respectively are placed with their centers coinciding. A material of thermal conductivity
is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at
and the outer shell at
. If the rate at which heat flows radially through the material is
, find the value of
(in units of
