Two identical plates of different metals are joined to form a single plate whose thickness is double the thickness of each plate. If the coefficients of thermal conductivity of each plate are $2$ and $3$ respectively,then the thermal conductivity of the composite plate will be:

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $2.4$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $1.2$

$A$ composite metal bar of uniform cross-section is made up of a length of $25 \ cm$ of copper,$10 \ cm$ of nickel,and $15 \ cm$ of aluminium. Each part is in perfect thermal contact with the adjoining part. The copper end of the composite rod is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and the aluminium end at $0^{\circ}C$. The whole rod is covered with an insulating belt so that no heat loss occurs at the sides. If $K_{\text{Cu}} = 2K_{\text{Al}}$ and $K_{\text{Al}} = 3K_{\text{Ni}}$,what will be the temperatures of the $\text{Cu-Ni}$ and $\text{Ni-Al}$ junctions,respectively?

Two metal slabs of same cross-sectional area have thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$,and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively,are connected in series. The free ends of the two slabs are kept at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$. The temperature $T$ of their common junction is

$A$ large box is connected to an ice cube at $100^{\circ}C$ by two identical metal rods as shown in the figure. The ice melts at a rate of $Q_1 \, g/s$. When the rods are connected in series between the box and the ice cube,the new melting rate is $Q_2 \, g/s$. Then $Q_2/Q_1$ is:

The temperatures 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 $\left( \frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x} \right)f$,where $f$ is equal to:
