$A$ solid cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_{1}$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_{2}$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is

  • A
    $K_{1}+K_{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{K_{1} K_{2}}{K_{1}+K_{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 K_{1}+K_{2}}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{K_{1}+3 K_{2}}{4}$

The ratio of the thermal conductivity of two rods of different materials is $6:5$. The two rods of same area of cross section and same thermal resistance will have the lengths in the ratio:

The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ $(T_{1} > T_{2})$. The rate of heat transfer,$\frac{dQ}{dt}$ through the rod in a steady state is given by:

The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures $100 ^\circ C$ and $110 ^\circ C$. The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be $4.0 \ J/s$. If the ends are maintained at temperatures $200 ^\circ C$ and $210 ^\circ C$,the rate of heat flow will be.... $J/s$

The rate of heat conduction through a cylindrical rod is $Q_1$. The temperatures at the ends of the rod are $T_1$ and $T_2$. If all the dimensions of the rod are doubled while keeping the temperatures the same,the new rate of heat conduction is $Q_2$. Then:
