Two walls have thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ and thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively. In the steady state,the temperatures of the outer surfaces are $T_1$ and $T_2$. What is the temperature at the interface of the two walls?

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

$A$,$B$ and $C$ are three identical conductors but made from different materials. They are kept in contact as shown. Their thermal conductivities are $K$,$2K$ and $K/2$. The free end of $A$ is at $100^{\circ} C$ and the free end of $C$ is at $0^{\circ} C$. During steady state,the temperature of the junction of $A$ and $B$ is nearly (in $^{\circ} C$)

Two rods of same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12 \ s$,when they are joined end to end. But when they are joined along their lengths (parallel combination),then they will transfer the same amount of heat under the same conditions in time $t = \dots \ s$.

Five metal rods of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and same length $l$ are connected as shown in the figure. If the thermal conductivities of copper and steel are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively,then the resultant thermal resistance between $A$ and $C$ is:

Four identical rods of the same material are joined end to end to form a square. If the temperature difference between the ends of a diagonal is $100^{\circ}C$,then the temperature difference between the ends of the other diagonal will be ........ $^{\circ}C$.

The ratio of thermal conductivity of two rods $A$ and $B$ with the same area of cross-section is $3: 2$. If the thermal resistance of two rods is the same,then the ratio of length of rod $A$ to length of rod $B$ is
