Once again the problem is that this is incompatible with
Slabinski or any other LeSage/Fato theory in which provides
heat on a per unit mass basis.

Mass is M - no dependence on r.
Area is 4pi r^2
so to be compatible with Slabinski et al your expression
should read

q' = KM/r^2

[pi etc goes into little k to big K switch]
