Two metal plates of equal thickness have thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. They are joined together to form a single plate. The equivalent thermal conductivity of this composite plate is ..........

Two rectangular blocks,having identical dimensions,can be arranged either in configuration $I$ or in configuration $II$ as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity $k$ and the other $2k$. The temperature difference between the ends along the $x$-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes $9 \ s$ to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to the cold end in the configuration $I$. The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration $II$ is: (in $s$)

Two rods having thermal conductivity in the ratio of $5:3$,having equal lengths and equal cross-sectional area,are joined face to face. If the temperature of the free end of the first rod is $100^{\circ}C$ and the free end of the second rod is $20^{\circ}C$,then the temperature of the junction is...... $^{\circ}C$.

Two rods of the same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12 \ s$ when they are joined end to end. But when they are joined lengthwise parallel to each other,they will transfer the same amount of heat under the same conditions in a time of: (in $s$)

Three rods $A, B,$ and $C$ of thermal conductivities $K, 2K$ and $4K$,cross-sectional areas $A, 2A$ and $2A$ and lengths $2l, l$ and $l$ respectively are connected as shown in the figure. If the ends of the rods are maintained at temperatures $100\,^oC$,$50\,^oC$,and $0\,^oC$ respectively,then the temperature $\theta$ of the junction is

Find the effective thermal resistance between $A$ and $B$ of a cube made up of $12$ rods of the same dimensions,with the given thermal conductivities as shown in the figure. [ $l =$ length of rod,$a =$ cross-sectional area of rod ]
