$A$ wall is made of equally thick layers $P$ and $Q$ of different materials. The thermal conductivity of $Q$ is half of that of $P$. In the steady state,if the temperature difference across the wall is $24^{\circ} C$,then the temperature difference across the layer $P$ is ............... . (in $^{\circ} C$)

The lengths and radii of two rods made of the same material are in the ratios $1:2$ and $2:3$ respectively. If the temperature difference between the ends for the two rods is the same,then in the steady state,the amount of heat flowing per second through them will be in the ratio:

Three metal rods made of copper, brass, and steel, each with a cross-sectional area of $4 \,cm^2$, are joined as shown in the figure. Their lengths are $46 \,cm, 13 \,cm$, and $12 \,cm$ respectively. Their coefficients of thermal conductivity are $0.92, 0.26$, and $0.12$ respectively, all in $CGS$ units. The rods are thermally insulated from the surroundings except at the ends. The rate of flow of heat through the copper rod, in $cal \,s^{-1}$, is:

Four rods of the same material with different radii $r$ and length $l$ are used to connect two reservoirs of heat at different temperatures. Which one will conduct the most heat?

$A$ large cylindrical rod of length $L$ is made by joining two identical rods of copper and steel of length $(\frac{L}{2})$ each. The rods are completely insulated from the surroundings. If the free end of the copper rod is maintained at $100\,^oC$ and that of the steel rod at $0\,^oC$,then the temperature of the junction is........$^oC$ (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel).

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 $= 385 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$)
