How do you calculate the heat transfer thorough a cylinder with lower temperature on the bottom than on the top. the temperature of the ambient is 20 deg C, inside is 77 deg K, the bottom disk is 5 deg C. what would be the temp on the top?

No formula at all.

Hint : Considering the effect of pressure difference with density, for a cylinder, it is not possible to have low temp. at the bottom part than at the topmost part.

So, the question asked here to check the basic knowledge about the fluid properties.
