Heat flux on a cylinder

Hi! I'm used to problems which ask me to find the heat flux for when, for example I have a very long cylinder covered with an insulator, each with their respective thermal conductivity coefficient. I'd use the Fourier's formula. But now I have a situation where the cylinder is covered with two insulators, one on the left half of it, and the other one on the right. So I don't know how to use the previous formula here. I found this very same problem on a web but, it didn't use that formula. Instead, an electric-like circuit was built, and so on (I'm NOT supposed to solve it this way) Any advice?

Thanks
