A thin, partially insulating circular rug is placed on a uniform half space up through which a steady heat flow passes. The corresponding dual integral equations are solved using Tranter's method, finite Legendre transforms and Mellin-Bames contour integrals. An untabulated Bessel (or Stieltjes) transform similar to the discontinuous WeberSchafheitlin integral is evaluated, and a simple expression derived for the rug's surface temperature.
