D
25oC
Solution
Verified by Toppr

heat current along the rod will be same
dqdt=9kA(100T)18=kA(T0)6
T=75oC

Q2
A steel rod is joined by a copper rod as shown in figure. Both the rods have same cross sectional area. The thermal conductivity of steel and copper are 5 watt/m-K and 10 watt/m-K respectively. If thermal resistance of steel rod is 60 K/watt then for copper rod it will be (in K/watt).

A cylindrical steel rod of length 0.10m and thermal conductivity 50Wm1K1 is welded end to end to copper rod of thermal conductivity 400Wm1K1 and of the same area of cross section but 0.20m long. The free end of the steel rod is maintained at 100 K and that of the copper rod at 0 K. Assuming that the rods are perfectly insulated from the surrounding, the temperature at the junction of the two rods is :

Q4
Figure (28-E2) shows a copper rod joined to a steel rod. The rods have equal length and equal cross sectional area. The free end of the copper rod is kept at 0°C and that of the steel rod is kept at 100°C. Find the temperature at the junction of the rods. Conductivity of copper = 390 W m−1°C−1 and that if steel = 46 W m−1°C−1.

Q5
Two rods, one made of copper and the other steel of the same length and cross sectional area are joined together. (The thermal conductivity of copper is 385 J.s1.m1.K1 and steel is 50 J.s1.m1.K1.) If the copper end is held at 100C and the steel end is held at 0C, what is the junction temperature (assuming no other heat losses)?
