$A$ partition wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ in contact,each made of a different material. They have the same thickness but the thermal conductivity of layer $A$ is twice that of layer $B$. If the steady state temperature difference across the wall is $60 \ K$,then the corresponding difference across the layer $A$ is ....... $K$.

For the figure shown,when arcs $ACD$ and $ADB$ are made of the same material,the total heat current carried between $A$ and $B$ is $H$. If $ADB$ is replaced with another material,the total heat current becomes $2H$. If the temperatures at $A$ and $B$ are fixed at $T_1$ and $T_2$,what is the ratio of the new thermal conductivity to the old thermal conductivity of the arc $ADB$?
