JEE Main2004PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
The temperature of two outer surfaces of a composite slab, consisting of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity K and 2 K and thickness x and 4 x , respectively are T₂ and T₁ (T₂>T₁ ) . The rate of heat transfer through the slab, in a steady state is ( A (T₂-T₁ ) K x ) f , with f equal to
Options
- A1
- B1 / 2
- C2 / 3
- D1 / 3
Correct answer
D. 1 / 3
Step-by-step solution
q = kA x [ T ₂- 2 ~T ₂- T ₁ 3 ]= kA 3 x [ T ₂- T ₁ ]
