Three very large plates of same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. The first and third plates are maintained at temperatures $2T$ and $3T$ respectively. The temperature of the middle (i.e. second) plate under steady state condition is

Two rods of same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12$ seconds, when they are joined end to end. But when they are joined lengthwise, then they will transfer same heat in same conditions in ……. $\sec$

The temperature of hot and cold end of a $20cm$ long rod in thermal steady state are at ${100^o}C$ and ${20^o}C$ respectively. Temperature at the centre of the rod is…… $^oC$

Aring consisting of two parts $ADB$ and $ACB$ of same conductivity $k$ carries an amount of heat $H$. The $ADB$ part is now replaced with another metal keeping the temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ constant. The heat carried increases to $2H$. What $ACB$ should be the conductivity of the new$ADB$ part? Given $\frac{{ACB}}{{ADB}}= 3$

A cylindrical rod with one end in a steam chamber and the other end in ice results in melting of $0.1$ gm of ice per second. If the rod is replaced by another with half the length and double the radius of the first and if the thermal conductivity of material of second rod is $\frac{1}{4}$ that of first, the rate at which ice melts in $gm/\sec $will be
