An iron bar $(L_{1}=0.1 \; m, A_{1}=0.02 \; m^{2}, K_{1}=79 \; W m^{-1} K^{-1})$ and a brass bar $(L_{2}=0.1 \; m, A_{2}=0.02 \; m^{2}, K_{2}=109 \; W m^{-1} K^{-1})$ are soldered end to end as shown in the figure. The free ends of the iron bar and brass bar are maintained at $373 \; K$ and $273 \; K$ respectively. Obtain expressions for and hence compute:
$(i)$ the temperature of the junction of the two bars,
$(ii)$ the equivalent thermal conductivity of the compound bar,and
$(iii)$ the heat current through the compound bar.

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 $ADB$?
