A slab consists of two parallel layers of copper and brass of the same thickness and having thermal conductivities in the ratio $1 : 4$ . If the free face of brass is at ${100^o}C$ and that of copper at $0^\circ C $, the temperature of interface is ........ $^oC$
$80$
$20$
$60$
$40$
A rod $C D$ of thermal resistance $10.0\; {KW}^{-1}$ is joined at the middle of an identical rod ${AB}$ as shown in figure, The end $A, B$ and $D$ are maintained at $200^{\circ} {C}, 100^{\circ} {C}$ and $125^{\circ} {C}$ respectively. The heat current in ${CD}$ is ${P}$ watt. The value of ${P}$ is ... .
Value of temperature gradient is $80\,^oC/m$ on a rod of $0.5\,m$ length. Temperature of hot end is $30\,^oC$, then what is the temperature of cold end ?
A composite block is made of slabs $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ of different thermal conductivities (given in terms of a constant $K$ ) and sizes (given in terms of length, $L$ ) as shown in the figure. All slabs are of same width. Heat $'Q'$ flows only from left to right through the blocks. Then in steady state $Image$
$(A)$ heat flow through $A$ and $E$ slabs are same.
$(B)$ heat flow through slab $E$ is maximum.
$(C)$ temperature difference across slab $E$ is smallest.
$(D)$ heat flow through $C =$ heat flow through $B +$ heat flow through $D$.
A long metallic bar is carrying heat from one of its ends to the other end under steady-state. The variation of temperature $\theta$ along the length $x$ of the bar from its hot end is best described by which of the following figures?
What is thermal steady state ?
