Two rods of cross-sectional area $A$ and $2A$ and equal length having thermal conductivities $2K$ and $3K$ are joined in parallel. The equivalent thermal conductivity of their combination will be:

For the shown figure,calculate the equivalent thermal resistance if the bricks are made of the same material of thermal conductivity $K$.

The temperature $\theta$ at the junction of two insulating sheets,having thermal resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ as well as top and bottom temperatures $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ (as shown in figure) is given by

Five wires each of cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ are combined as shown. The thermal conductivity of copper and steel are $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. The equivalent thermal resistance between $A$ and $C$ is

Six identical rods are arranged as shown in the figure. The temperature of the junction $B$ will be......... $^oC$

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