$A$ long metallic bar is carrying heat from one of its ends to the other end under steady-state. The variation of temperature $\theta$ along the length $x$ of the bar from its hot end is best described by which of the following figures?

Two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $3K$ and $K$ and thickness $d$ and $3d$,respectively,are joined to form a slab as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the outer surfaces are $\theta_2$ and $\theta_1$ respectively $(\theta_2 > \theta_1)$. The temperature at the interface is

$A$ copper pipe of length $10 \,m$ carries steam at temperature $110^{\circ} C$. The outer surface of the pipe is maintained at a temperature $10^{\circ} C$. The inner and outer radii of the pipe are $2 \,cm$ and $4 \,cm$,respectively. The thermal conductivity of copper is $0.38 \,kW / m /^{\circ} C$. In the steady state,the rate at which heat flows radially outward through the pipe is closest to ............. $\,kW$.
