Two walls have thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ and thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively. In the steady state,the temperatures of the outer surfaces are $T_1$ and $T_2$. What is the temperature at the interface of the two walls?

  • A
    $\frac{k_1 T_1 d_2 + k_2 T_2 d_1}{k_1 d_2 + k_2 d_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{k_1 T_1 + k_2 d_2}{d_1 + d_2}$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{k_1 d_1 + k_2 d_2}{T_1 + T_2} \right) T_1 T_2$
  • D
    $\frac{k_1 d_1 T_1 + k_2 d_2 T_2}{k_1 d_1 + k_2 d_2}$

$A$ composite slab consists of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$,and thicknesses $x$ and $4x$ respectively. The temperatures of the two outer surfaces of the composite slab are $T_2$ and $T_1$ $(T_2 > T_1)$. The rate of heat transfer through the slab in a steady state is $\left[\frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x}\right] \cdot f$,where '$f$' is equal to:

$A$ copper rod of length $75 \ cm$ and an iron rod of length $125 \ cm$ are joined together end to end. Both are of circular cross-section with diameter $2 \ cm$. The free ends of the copper and iron are maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and $0^{\circ} C$ respectively. The surfaces of the bars are insulated thermally. The temperature of the copper-iron junction is (Thermal conductivity of copper is $386.4 \ W/m-K$ and thermal conductivity of iron is $48.46 \ W/m-K$) (in $^{\circ} C$)

In a composite rod,when two rods of different lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area are joined end to end,if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity,then the value of $(l_1 + l_2)/K$ is

Rods $x$ and $y$ of equal dimensions but of different materials are joined as shown in the figure. Temperatures of end points $A$ and $F$ are maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ respectively. Given the thermal conductivity of rod $x$ is three times that of rod $y$, the temperatures at junction points $B$ and $E$ are (close to):
