A cylinder of radius $R$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$. The thermal conductivity of the material of the inner cylinder is $K_1$ and that of the outer cylinder is $K_2$. Assuming no loss of heat, the effective thermal conductivity of the system for heat flowing along the length of the cylinder is
$\frac{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}{2}$
$K_1 + K_2$
$\frac{{2{K_1} + {3K_2}}}{5}$
$\frac{{{K_1} + {3K_2}}}{4}$
In variable state, the rate of flow of heat is controlled by
Two vessels of different materials are similar in size in every respect. The same quantity of ice filled in them gets melted in $20$ minutes and $30$ minutes. The ratio of their thermal conductivities will be
The end $A$ of a rod $AB$ of length $1\,m$ is maintained at $80\,^oC$ and the end $B$ at $0\,^oC.$ The temperature at a distance of $60\,\,c.m.$ from the end $A$ is......... $^oC$
Two rods $A$ and $B$ of same cross-sectional are $A$ and length $l$ connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^o C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^o C)$ as shown in figure. The rod is laterally insulated If $G_A$ and $G_B$ are the temperature gradients across the rod $A$ and $B$, then
In which case the thermal conductivity increases from left to right
