Two sheets of thickness $d$ and $3d$ are touching each other. The temperature just outside the thinner sheet side is $A$,and on the side of the thicker sheet is $C$. The interface temperature is $B$. If $A, B$,and $C$ are in arithmetic progression,the ratio of the thermal conductivity of the thinner sheet to the thicker sheet is:

The two opposite faces of a cubical piece of iron (thermal conductivity $= 0.2 \text{ CGS units}$) are at $100^{\circ}C$ and $0^{\circ}C$ in ice. If the area of a surface is $4 \text{ cm}^2$,then the mass of ice melted in $10 \text{ minutes}$ will be ...... $\text{gm}$.

$A$ brass boiler has a base area of $0.15\; m^{2}$ and thickness $1.0\; cm$. It boils water at the rate of $6.0\; kg/min$ when placed on a gas stove. Estimate the temperature (in $^oC$) of the part of the flame in contact with the boiler. Thermal conductivity of brass $= 109\; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$; Heat of vaporisation of water $= 2256 \times 10^{3}\; J kg^{-1}$.

Two rods,one made of copper and the other of steel,having the same length and cross-sectional area,are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper is $385 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$ and that of steel is $50 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$. If the copper end is held at $100^{\circ} C$ and the steel end is held at $0^{\circ} C$,the junction temperature is ........... $^{\circ} C$ (Assuming no other heat losses).

The temperature difference between two sides of an iron plate,$1.8 \ cm$ thick is $9^{\circ} C$. Heat is transmitted through the plate at a rate of $10 \ kcal / (s \cdot m^2)$ at steady state. The thermal conductivity of iron is:

The thickness of a metallic plate is $0.4 \ cm$. The temperature difference between its two surfaces is $20^{\circ}C$. The quantity of heat flowing per second is $50 \ \text{calories}$ through an area of $5 \ cm^2$. In the $CGS$ system,the coefficient of thermal conductivity is:
