Two rods whose lengths are $l_1$ and $l_2$ with thermal conductivity coefficients $k_1$ and $k_2$ are placed end to end. The thermal conductivity coefficient of a uniform rod of length $l_1+l_2$ whose thermal resistance is the same as that of the system of these two rods is
- A$\frac{(l_1+l_2) k_1 k_2}{k_2 l_1+k_1 l_2}$
- B$\frac{(l_1+l_2) k_1 k_2}{k_1 l_1+k_2 l_2}$
- C$\frac{k_1 l_1+k_2 l_2}{(l_1+l_2) k_1 k_2}$
- D$\frac{k_1 l_2+k_2 l_1}{(l_1+l_2) k_1 k_2}$

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ are connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^{\circ}C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^{\circ}C)$ as shown in the figure. The rods are laterally insulated. The thermal conductivities of rods $A$ and $B$ are $3K$ and $K$ respectively. The ratio of the thermal resistance of rod $A$ to that of rod $B$ is:

View SolutionTwo rods of same material have same length and area. The heat $\Delta Q$ flows through them for $12 \, \text{minutes}$ when they are joined in series. If now both the rods are joined in parallel,then the same amount of heat $\Delta Q$ will flow in ........ $\text{minutes}$.

View Solution$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B$,each made of different materials. Both layers are of the same thickness. The thermal conductivity of material $A$ is twice that of $B$. If in the steady state,the temperature difference across the wall is $24^{\circ} C$,then the temperature difference across the layer $B$ is (in $^{\circ} C$)
Three conducting rods of the same material and cross-section are shown in the figure. The temperatures at $A$, $D$, and $C$ are maintained at $20 ^oC$, $90 ^oC$, and $0 ^oC$ respectively. If there is no heat flow in $AB$, find the ratio of the lengths of $BD$ and $BC$.
