Transmission Of Heat Question 81
Question: Two metal cubes $ A $ and $ B $ of same size are arranged as shown in the figure. The extreme ends of the combination are maintained at the indicated temperatures. The arrangement is thermally insulated. The coefficients of thermal conductivity of $ A $ and $ B $ are $ 300\ W/m{{\ }^{o}}C $ and $ 200\ W/m{{\ }^{o}}C $ , respectively. After steady state is reached, the temperature of the interface will be
[IIT 1996]
Options:
A) $ 45^{o}C $
B) $ 90^{o}C $
C) $ 30^{o}C $
D) $ 60^{o}C $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Temperature of interface $ T=\frac{K _{1}{\theta _{1}}+K _{2}{\theta _{2}}}{K _{1}+K _{2}} $
$ =\frac{300\times 100+200\times 0}{300+200}=60{}^\circ C $
