The coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel. In the composite cylindrical bar shown in the figure,what will be the temperature at the junction of copper and steel (in $^{\circ} C$)?

What is the temperature (in $^oC$) of the steel-copper junction in the steady state of the system shown in the figure? Length of the steel rod $= 15.0 \; cm,$ length of the copper rod $= 10.0 \; cm,$ temperature of the furnace $= 300^{\circ} C,$ temperature of the other end $= 0^{\circ} C.$ The area of cross-section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel $= 50.2 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1};$ and of copper $= 385 \; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$)

$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ made of different materials. The thickness of both the layers is the same. The thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ are $K_A$ and $K_B$ such that $K_A = 3K_B$. The temperature difference across the wall is $20^\circ C$. In thermal equilibrium:

Two rods with thermal conductivities $K$ and $3K$ and equal cross-sectional areas are joined as shown in the figure. Their lengths are $1 \ cm$ and $2 \ cm$,respectively. If the temperatures of the two ends of this composite rod are $0^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ (see figure),then the temperature $\phi$ of their interface is:

An ice cube of dimensions $60\,cm \times 50\,cm \times 20\,cm$ is placed in an insulation box of wall thickness $1\,cm$. The box keeping the ice cube at $0^{\circ}C$ temperature is brought to a room of temperature $40^{\circ}C$. The rate of melting of ice is approximately. (Latent heat of fusion of ice is $3.4 \times 10^{5}\,J\,kg^{-1}$ and thermal conductivity of insulation wall is $0.05\,W\,m^{-1\circ}C^{-1}$)

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:
