10-2.Transmission of Heat
normal

Three rods of same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3K,\,2K$ and $K$. They are arranged as shown with their ends at $100\,^oC$, $50\,^oC$ and $0\,^oC$. Temperature of junction is

A

$75\,^oC$

B

$\frac {200}{3}\,^oC$

C

$40\,^oC$

D

$\frac {100}{3}\,^oC$

Solution

Let temperature of junction be to

$\frac{\mathrm{T}_{0}-100}{\frac{\ell}{3 \mathrm{KA}}}+\frac{\mathrm{T}_{0}-50}{\frac{\ell}{2 \mathrm{KA}}}+\frac{\mathrm{T}_{0}-0}{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{KA}}}=0$

$3 \mathrm{T}_{0}-300+2 \mathrm{T}_{0}-100+\mathrm{T}_{0}=0$

$6 \mathrm{T}_{0}=400$

$\mathrm{T}_{0}=\frac{400}{6}=\frac{200}{3}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
