How to find the surface integral of such term

$\int \int_{F_+} (y-z)dydz + (z-x)dzdx +(x-y)dxdy$

where $F_+$ is the surface $x^2+y^2 = z^2$ $(0 \leq z \leq h )$ oriented outward.

There were other problems, where I could just parametrize the $F_+$ and then compute $\vec{n}$ and simply put in the surface integral formula, but here I'm confused on how to carry on. Hints please.

Thanks.

First, parametrize the surface $S$:

$$ x=x, \quad y=y, \quad z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}, $$

with $x,y \in D := \{(x,y)\;|\; x^2+y^2\le h^2\} $.

Second, compute $\vec{r}_x \times \vec{r}_y= (\frac{-x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}},\frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}},1)$.

Third, note that you can rewrite your integral as follows:

$$ \iint_S \vec{F}\cdot d\vec{S}, $$ with $\vec{F}=(y-z,z-x,x-y)$.

You now have everything you need to finish: $$ \iint_S \vec{F}\cdot d\vec{S} = \iint_D \vec{F}(x,y)\cdot (\vec{r}_x \times \vec{r}_y) dA = \iint_{D}(y-\sqrt{x^2+y^2})\frac{-x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}+(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x)\frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}+(x-y)dA, $$

i.e.:

$$ \iint_{D}\frac{-xy}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}-1+1-\frac{xy}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}+(x-y)dA=\iint_{D}\frac{-2xy}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}+x-y dA $$

Using polar coordinates to simplify the integral yields:

$$ \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_0^h\left(\frac{-2r\cos{\theta}r\sin{\theta}}{r}+r\cos{\theta}-r\sin{\theta}\right)r drd\theta=0. $$

Note. Alternatively, with the Divergence theorem:

$$ \iint_S \vec{F}\cdot d\vec{S} = \iiint_V div \vec{F} \;dV - \iint_{S_1}\vec{F} \cdot d\vec{S}, $$

where $V$ is the closed region above the cone and below the plane $z=h$, and $S_1$ is the surface of the plane $z=h$ above $D$.

It follows that

$$ \iint_S \vec{F}\cdot d\vec{S} =0 - \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_0^h (r\cos{\theta}-r\sin{\theta})r drd\theta =0. $$
