NEET2010PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
Consider a compound slab consisting of two different materials having equal lengths, thicknesses and thermal conductivities K and 2 K respectively. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab is
Options
- A2 K
- B3 K
- C4 3 K
- D2 3 K
Correct answer
C. 4 3 K
Step-by-step solution
Equivalent thermal conductivity of the compound slab, aligned K_ eq & = l₁+l₂ l₁ K₁ + l₂ K₂ = l+l l K + l 2 K & = 2 l 3 l 2 K = 4 3 K aligned
