Rods x and y of equal dimensions but of different materials are joined as shown in figure. Temperatures of end points A and F are maintained at 100^ C and 40^ C respectively. Given the thermal conductivity of rod x is three times of that of rod y , the temperature at junction points B and E are (close to):
Options
- A80^ C and 70^ C respectively
- B80^ C and 60^ C respectively
- C60^ C and 45^ C respectively
- D89^ C and 73^ C respectively
Correct answer
D. 89^ C and 73^ C respectively
Step-by-step solution
Let [ R = 3KA ] [ H = 100 - 40 11R 2 ] ...(1) H = 100 - T_B R .....(2) H = T_E - 40 3R .....(3) using (1) and (2) 120 = 1100 - 11T_A T_B = 89°C using (1) and (3) T_E = 73°C
