In a composite rod,when two rods of different lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area are joined end to end,if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity,then the value of $(l_1 + l_2)/K$ is

Two rods of the same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12 \ s$ when they are joined end to end. But when they are joined lengthwise parallel to each other,they will transfer the same amount of heat under the same conditions in a time of: (in $s$)

Three rods $AB$, $BC$, and $BD$ made of the same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. The ends $A$, $C$, and $D$ are held at temperatures of $20^{\circ} C$, $80^{\circ} C$, and $80^{\circ} C$ respectively. If each rod is of the same length, then the temperature at the junction $B$ of the three rods is: (in $^{\circ} C$)

Three rods of the same material,same length,and same cross-sectional area are connected as shown in the figure. Find the temperature of their junction in $^oC$.

$A$ partition wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ in contact,each made of a different material. They have the same thickness but the thermal conductivity of layer $A$ is twice that of layer $B$. If the steady state temperature difference across the wall is $60 \ K$,then the corresponding difference across the layer $A$ is ....... $K$.

$A$ 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 different temperatures. There is no loss of heat from the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is
