$A$ large box is connected to an ice cube at $100^{\circ}C$ by two identical metal rods as shown in the figure. The ice melts at a rate of $Q_1 \, g/s$. When the rods are connected in series between the box and the ice cube,the new melting rate is $Q_2 \, g/s$. Then $Q_2/Q_1$ is:

$A$ composite slab consists of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$,thickness $x$ and $4x$ respectively. The temperatures of two outer surfaces of the composite slab are $T_2$ and $T_1$ respectively $(T_2 > T_1)$. The rate of heat transfer through the slab in a steady state is $\left[\frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x}\right] f$,where $f$ is equal to:

Find the effective thermal resistance between $A$ and $B$ of a cube made up of $12$ rods of the same dimensions,with the given thermal conductivities as shown in the figure. [ $l =$ length of rod,$a =$ cross-sectional area of rod ]

The rate of flow of heat through a metal rod with a temperature difference of $40^{\circ} C$ is $1600 cal/s$. The thermal resistance of the metal rod in $^{\circ} C s/cal$ is

Two plates of the same thickness with coefficients of thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ and cross-sectional areas $A_1$ and $A_2$ are connected as shown. Find the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity $K_{eq}$.

$A$ composite metal bar of uniform cross-section is made up of a length of $25 \ cm$ of copper,$10 \ cm$ of nickel,and $15 \ cm$ of aluminium. Each part is in perfect thermal contact with the adjoining part. The copper end of the composite rod is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and the aluminium end at $0^{\circ}C$. The whole rod is covered with an insulating belt so that no heat loss occurs at the sides. If $K_{\text{Cu}} = 2K_{\text{Al}}$ and $K_{\text{Al}} = 3K_{\text{Ni}}$,what will be the temperatures of the $\text{Cu-Ni}$ and $\text{Ni-Al}$ junctions,respectively?
