Wires $A$ and $B$ have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of $A$ is twice the radius of $B$,$i.e.$,${r_A} = 2{r_B}$. For a given temperature difference between the two ends,both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by:

The thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel. Find the temperature of the junction of copper and steel in the composite rod as shown in the figure (in $^oC$).

$A$ solid cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_{1}$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_{2}$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is

In the Ingen-Hauz's experiment,the wax melts up to lengths $10 \ cm$ and $25 \ cm$ on two identical rods of different materials. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the two materials is:

Two identical containers are filled with the same amount of ice. The containers are made of different metals. If the ice in both containers melts in $20$ minutes and $35$ minutes respectively,find the ratio of their thermal conductivities.

The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper,mercury,and glass are respectively $K_c, K_m$,and $K_g$ such that $K_c > K_m > K_g$. If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $X_c, X_m$,and $X_g$,then:
