The figure shows a system of two concentric spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ 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

Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ $(r_{1} < r_{2})$ are placed with their centres coinciding. $A$ material of thermal conductivity $K$ is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at temperature $\theta_{1}$ and the outer shell at temperature $\theta_{2}$ $(\theta_{1} < \theta_{2})$. The rate at which heat flows radially through the material is:

For a spherical shell with inner and outer radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively,the formula for the heat flow rate is = ......... where $T_1$ and $T_2$ are the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the shell $(T_1 > T_2)$. The thermal conductivity of the material of the shell is $k$.

Two sheets of thickness $d$ and $3d$ are touching each other. The temperature just outside the thinner sheet side is $A$,and on the side of the thicker sheet is $C$. The interface temperature is $B$. If $A, B$,and $C$ are in arithmetic progression,the ratio of the thermal conductivity of the thinner sheet to the thicker sheet is:

The thermal conductivity of a rod is $2$. What is its thermal resistivity?

Heat current is maximum in which of the following (rods are of identical dimension)?
