Three identical rods $AB$, $CD$ and $PQ$ are joined as shown. $P$ and $Q$ are mid points of $AB$ and $CD$ respectively. Ends $A, B, C$ and $D$ are maintained at $0^o C, 100^o C, 30^o C$ and $60^o C$ respectively. The direction of heat flow in $PQ$ is
The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper, mercury and glass are respectively $Kc, Km$ and $Kg$ such that $Kc > Km > Kg$ . If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $Xc, Xm$ and $Xg$ , then
The ratio of thermal conductivity of two rods of different material is $5 : 4$ . The two rods of same area of cross-section and same thermal resistance will have the lengths in the ratio
In the following figure, two insulating sheets with thermal resistances $R$ and $3R$ as shown in figure. The temperature $\theta$ is ...... $^oC$
Three rods of identical area of cross-section and made from the same metal form the sides of an isosceles triangle $ABC$, right angled at $B$. The points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at temperatures $T$ and $\sqrt 2 T$ respectively. In the steady state the temperature of the point C is ${T_C}$. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, $\frac{{{T_C}}}{T}$ is equal to
