Two plates $A$ and $B$ have thermal conductivities $84\,Wm ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}$ and $126\,Wm ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}$ respectively. They have same surface area and same thickness. They are placed in contact along their surfaces. If the temperatures of the outer surfaces of $A$ and $B$ are kept at $100^{\circ}\,C$ and $0{ }^{\circ}\,C$ respectively, then the temperature of the surface of contact in steady state is $..........\,{ }^{\circ} C$.

Bottom of a lake is at $0^{\circ} C$ and atmospheric temperature is $-20^{\circ} C$. If $1 cm$ ice is formed on the surface in $24 \,h$, then time taken to form next $1 \,cm$ of ice is ......... $h$
Two metal rods $1$ and $2$ of same lengths have same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ and cross sectional areas $A_1$ and $A_2$ , respectively. If the rate of heat conduction in $1$ is four times that in $2$, then
Two metallic blocks $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ of same area of cross-section are connected to each other (as shown in figure). If the thermal conductivity of $M _{2}$ is $K$ then the thermal conductivity of $M _{1}$ will be ]...............$K$ [Assume steady state heat conduction]
The temperature of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab, consisting of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$ and thickness $x$ and $4x$ , respectively are $T_2$ and $T_1$ ($T_2$ > $T_1$). The rate of heat transfer through the slab, in a steady state is $\left( {\frac{{A({T_2} - {T_1})K}}{x}} \right)f$, with $f $ which equal to
The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures $100 ^o C$ and $110^o C$. The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be $4.0\ J/s$. If the ends are maintained at temperatures $200^o\ C$ and $210^o\ C$, the rate of heat flow will be.... $J/s$
