Since

F = \nablaΩ

Ω

\nabla \cdot F = \nabla^{2} Ω = 6 x + 4 z .

The divergence theorem changes the outward flux through the whole closed boundary into

I = \int_{V} (6 x + 4 z) d V

x

term vanish. With

z = (u^{2} - v^{2}) /2

I = 2 \int_{- π}^{π} \int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{v} (u^{2} - v^{2}) uv (u^{2} + v^{2}) d u d v d ϕ = 4 π \int_{0}^{1} v [\frac{u ^{6}}{6} - \frac{v ^{4} u ^{2}}{2}]_{u = 0}^{u = v} d v = - \frac{4 π}{3} \int_{0}^{1} v^{7} d v = - \frac{π}{6} .

Both the curved face and the top disk are included in this surface integral through the divergence theorem.
