$A$ wall consists of alternating blocks of length $d$ and coefficients of thermal conductivity $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively,as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional areas of the blocks are the same. The equivalent coefficient of thermal conductivity of the wall between the left and right sides is
- A$\frac{2K_{1}K_{2}}{K_{1} + K_{2}}$
- B$\frac{K_{1} + K_{2}}{3}$
- C$\frac{K_{1}K_{2}}{2(K_{1} + K_{2})}$
- D$\frac{K_{1} + K_{2}}{2}$

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

View SolutionThree rods $AB$, $BC$, and $BD$ made of the same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. The ends $A$, $C$, and $D$ are held at temperatures of $20^{\circ} C$, $80^{\circ} C$, and $80^{\circ} C$ respectively. If each rod is of the same length, then the temperature at the junction $B$ of the three rods is: (in $^{\circ} C$)
$A$ partition wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ in contact,each made of a different material. They have the same thickness but the thermal conductivity of layer $A$ is twice that of layer $B$. If the steady state temperature difference across the wall is $60 \ K$,then the corresponding difference across the layer $A$ is ....... $K$.
