If $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ are the thermal conductivities,$L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ are the lengths,and $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are the cross-sectional areas of steel and copper rods respectively,such that $\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}}=9$,$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=2$,and $\frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}=2$. For the arrangement shown in the figure,the value of the temperature $T$ of the steel-copper junction in the steady state will be ........... $^{\circ}C$.

Why do some cooking vessels have a copper coating at the bottom?

The temperature difference between two sides of an iron plate,$1.8 \ cm$ thick is $9^{\circ} C$. Heat is transmitted through the plate at a rate of $10 \ kcal / (s \cdot m^2)$ at steady state. The thermal conductivity of iron is:

What is the temperature (in $^oC$) of the steel-copper junction in the steady state of the system shown in the figure? Length of the steel rod $= 15.0 \; cm,$ length of the copper rod $= 10.0 \; cm,$ temperature of the furnace $= 300^{\circ} C,$ temperature of the other end $= 0^{\circ} C.$ The area of cross-section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel $= 50.2 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1};$ and of copper $= 385 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$)
