Two walls of thickness $d_1$ and $d_2$ and thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$ are in contact. In the steady state,the temperatures of the outer surfaces are $T_1$ and $T_2$. Find the temperature of the common interface.

  • A
    $\frac{k_1 T_1 d_2 + k_2 T_2 d_1}{k_1 d_2 + k_2 d_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{k_1 T_1 + k_2 T_2}{d_1 + d_2}$
  • C
    $\left[ \frac{k_1 d_1 + k_2 d_2}{T_1 + T_2} \right] T_1 T_2$
  • D
    $\frac{k_1 d_1 T_1 + k_2 d_2 T_2}{k_1 d_1 + k_2 d_2}$

Three rods each of length $l$ and cross-sectional area $A$ are joined in series between two heat reservoirs as shown in the figure. Their thermal conductivities are $2K$,$K$,and $\frac{K}{2}$,respectively. Assuming that the conductors are insulated from the surroundings,the temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ of the junctions in the steady-state condition are,respectively:

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 $G_A$ and $G_B$ are the temperature gradients across rod $A$ (thermal conductivity $3K$) and rod $B$ (thermal conductivity $K$),then:

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:

The thickness of a uniform rectangular metal plate is $5 \ mm$ and the area of each surface is $5 \ cm^2$. In steady state, the temperature difference between the two surfaces of the plate is $14^{\circ} C$. If the heat flowing through the plate in one second from one surface to the other surface is $42 \ J$, then the thermal conductivity of the metal is

Two spheres of different materials,one with double the radius and one-fourth wall thickness of the other,are filled with ice. If the time taken for complete melting of ice in the large radius sphere is $25 \ minutes$ and that for the smaller one is $16 \ minutes$,the ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials of the larger sphere to the smaller sphere is:
