Three metal rods of the same material and identical in all respects are joined as shown in the figure. The temperatures at the ends of these rods are maintained as indicated. Assuming no heat energy loss occurs through the curved surfaces of the rods,the temperature at the junction $X$ is (in $^{\circ} C$)

Six identical rods are arranged as shown in the figure. The temperature of the junction $B$ will be......... $^oC$

In a composite rod,when two rods of different lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area are joined end to end,if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity,then the value of $(l_1 + l_2)/K$ is

Consider a compound slab consisting of two different materials having equal thickness and thermal conductivities $K$ and $2K$ respectively. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab is

Three rods $AB$,$BC$,and $BD$ made of the same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. The ends $A$,$C$,and $D$ are held at temperatures of $20^{\circ} C$,$80^{\circ} C$,and $80^{\circ} C$ respectively. If each rod is of the same length,then the temperature at the junction $B$ of the three rods is: (in $^{\circ} C$)

$A$ copper rod of length $18 \ cm$ and a steel rod of length $6 \ cm$ are joined together to form a composite rod of uniform cross-section. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is $100 \ ^\circ C$ and the temperature of the free end of the steel rod is $0 \ ^\circ C$. What is the temperature at the junction in $^\circ C$? (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel. The rod is in a steady state.)
