Consider two rods $1$ and $2$ of same length $L$. They have different specific heats $(C_1, C_2)$, thermal conductivities $(K_1, K_2)$ and area of cross-section $(A_1, A_2)$ respectively. Both the rods have temperatures $(T_1, T_2)$ at their ends. If their rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then

What is the temperature (in $^oC$) of the steel-copper junction in the steady state of the system shown in the figure? Length of the steel rod $= 15.0 \; cm,$ length of the copper rod $= 10.0 \; cm,$ temperature of the furnace $= 300^{\circ} C,$ temperature of the other end $= 0^{\circ} C.$ The area of cross-section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel $= 50.2 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1};$ and of copper $= 385 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$)

An ice box is used to keep food cool,having a surface area of $1 \, m^2$ and a thickness of $5.0 \, cm$. The thermal conductivity of the ice box material is $K = 0.01 \, J/(m \cdot s \cdot ^\circ C)$. The inside temperature is maintained at $0 \, ^\circ C$ and the outside temperature is $30 \, ^\circ C$. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $334 \times 10^3 \, J/kg$,calculate the mass of ice that melts in one day.

If the ratio of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of silver and copper is $10 : 9$,then the ratio of the lengths up to which wax will melt in the Ingen Hausz experiment will be:

Two identical rods $AC$ and $CB$ made of two different metals having thermal conductivities in the ratio $2:3$ are kept in contact with each other at the end $C$. $A$ is at $100^{\circ}C$ and $B$ is at $25^{\circ}C$. Then the junction $C$ is at: (in $^{\circ}C$)
