Both patches project onto the unit disk $D$ in the $xy$-plane. Their outward oriented surface elements areThe cone's apex has zero area and does not affect the surface integral. For $k=0$, the vector field is $(y,x,1{)}^T$, soThe terms involving $xy$ vanish by reflection symmetry of the disk. Thus the total outward flux isThis calculation evaluates the two surface integrals directly.
