Two rods,one made of copper and the other made of steel,of the same length and same cross-sectional area,are joined together. The thermal conductivities of copper and steel are $385 \, W \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ and $50 \, W \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at $100^{\circ} \, C$ and $0^{\circ} \, C$ respectively. The temperature at the junction is nearly $.......^{\circ} \, C$.

Two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $3K$ and $K$ and thickness $d$ and $3d$,respectively,are joined to form a slab as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the outer surfaces are $\theta_2$ and $\theta_1$ respectively $(\theta_2 > \theta_1)$. The temperature at the interface is

Heat is conducted across a composite block of two slabs of thickness $d$ and $2d$. Their thermal conductivities are $2k$ and $k$ respectively. All the heat entering the face $AB$ leaves from the face $CD$. The temperature in $^oC$ of the junction $EF$ of the two slabs is:
