What properties should a material used for making a cooking pot possess? ($K =$ thermal conductivity,$S =$ specific heat capacity)

$A$ copper rod and a steel rod of equal cross-sections and lengths $L$ are joined side by side and connected between two heat baths as shown in the figure. If heat flows through them from $x = 0$ to $x = 2L$ at a steady rate and thermal conductivities of the metals are $K_{Cu}$ and $K_{Steel}$ $(K_{Cu} > K_{Steel})$,then the temperature varies as (convection and radiation are negligible):

If the radius and length of a copper rod are both doubled,the rate of flow of heat along the rod increases ....... times.

Steam at $373 K$ is passed through a tube of radius $10 cm$ and length $2 m$. The thickness of the tube is $5 mm$ and the thermal conductivity of its material is $390 W m^{-1} K^{-1}$. Calculate the heat lost per second. The outside temperature is $0^{\circ}C$.

The lengths of two rods made of the same metal and having the same area of cross-section are $0.6 \ m$ and $0.8 \ m$ respectively. The temperatures at the ends of the first rod are $90^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$,and those for the second rod are $150^{\circ}C$ and $110^{\circ}C$. For which rod will the rate of heat conduction be greater?

$A$ large cylindrical rod of length $L$ is made by joining two identical rods of copper and steel of length $(\frac{L}{2})$ each. The rods are completely insulated from the surroundings. If the free end of the copper rod is maintained at $100\,^oC$ and that of the steel rod at $0\,^oC$,then the temperature of the junction is........$^oC$ (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel).
