Three rods of identical cross-sectional area and made from the same metal form the sides of an isosceles triangle ABC right angled at B . The points A and B are maintained at temperatures T and 2 T , respectively, in the steady-state. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, the temperature of the point C is
Options
- A3 T 2 + 1
- BT 2 + 1
- CT 3 2 - 1
- DT 2 - 1
Correct answer
A. 3 T 2 + 1
Step-by-step solution
As T B > T A , heat flows from B to A through both paths BA and BCA . Rate of heat flow in BC = Rate of heat flow in CA K A 2 T - T c l = KA T c - T 2 l Solving this, we get T c = 3 T 2 + 1
