As per the given figure, two plates $A$ and $B$ of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2 K$ are joined together to form a compound plate. The thickness of plates are $4.0 \,cm$ and $2.5 \,cm$ respectively and the area of cross-section is $120 \,cm ^{2}$ for each plate. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the compound plate is $\left(1+\frac{5}{\alpha}\right) K$, then the value of $\alpha$ will be_______
