The figure shows a system of two concentric spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ and kept at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$, respectively. The radial rate of flow of heat in a substance between the two concentric spheres is proportional to
$\frac{{{r_1}\,{r_2}}}{{({r_1} - {r_2})}}$
$({r_2} - {r_1})$
$({r_2} - {r_1})({r_1}\,{r_2})$
$In \left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)$
A slab consists of two parallel layers of copper and brass of the same thickness and having thermal conductivities in the ratio $1 : 4$ . If the free face of brass is at ${100^o}C$ and that of copper at $0^\circ C $, the temperature of interface is ........ $^oC$
On which factor does the thermal conductivity depend ?
For the shown figure, calculate the equivalent thermal resistance if the bricks made of the same material of conductivity $K$
When thermal conductivity is said to be constant ?
The temperature of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab, consisting of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$ and thickness $x$ and $4x$ , respectively are $T_2$ and $T_1$ ($T_2$ > $T_1$). The rate of heat transfer through the slab, in a steady state is $\left( {\frac{{A({T_2} - {T_1})K}}{x}} \right)f$, with $f $ which equal to
