Abstract
Under nonspherical coordinates, the free energy and the entropy of a scalar field are calculated in terms of the brick-wall method on the background o f a nonasymptotically flat cylindrical black hole. It is shown that the ent ropy is not only related to the area of an outer horizon but also function of inner horizon at nonasymptotically flat space-time, when a black hole ha s both inner and outer horizons. Further, the entropy expressed by location parameter of outer and inner horizons approaches zero, when the radiation temperature of a black hole approaches zero. It satisfies the Nernst theore m and can be taken as Planck absolute entropy of a black hole.
