Two plates of equal area are placed in contact with each other. Their thicknesses are $2.0 \ cm$ and $5.0 \ cm$. The temperature of the outer surface of the first plate is $-20^{\circ}C$ and the temperature of the outer surface of the second plate is $20^{\circ}C$. If the ratio of their thermal conductivities is $2:5$,find the temperature of the contact surface in $^{\circ}C$.

The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$. The rate of heat transfer,$\frac{dQ}{dt}$,through the rod in a steady state is given by:

$A$ metal rod $AB$ of length $10x$ has its one end $A$ in ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end $B$ in water at $100^{\circ}C$. If a point $P$ on the rod is maintained at $400^{\circ}C$,then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is $540 \ cal/g$ and latent heat of melting of ice is $80 \ cal/g$. If the point $P$ is at a distance of $\lambda x$ from the ice end $A$,find the value of $\lambda$. (Neglect any heat loss to the surrounding.)

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ are connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^{\circ}C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^{\circ}C)$ as shown in the figure. The rods are laterally insulated. If the thermal conductivities of rods $A$ and $B$ are $3K$ and $K$ respectively,and $T_A$ and $T_B$ are the temperature drops across rods $A$ and $B$,then:
