One end of a thermally insulated rod is kept at a temperature T 1 and the other at T 2 . The rod is composed of two sections of lengths l 1 and l 2 and thermal conductivities K 1 and K 2 respectively. The temperature at the interface of the two sections is
Options
- A( K 1 l 1 T 1 + K 2 l 2 T 2 ) ( K 1 l 1 + K 2 l 2 )
- B( K 2 l 2 T 1 + K 1 l 1 T 2 ) ( K 1 l 1 + K 2 l 2 )
- C( K 2 l 1 T 1 + K 1 l 2 T 2 ) ( K 2 l 1 + K 1 l 2 )
- D( K 1 l 2 T 1 + K 2 l 1 T 2 ) ( K 1 l 2 + K 2 l 1 )
Correct answer
D. ( K 1 l 2 T 1 + K 2 l 1 T 2 ) ( K 1 l 2 + K 2 l 1 )
Step-by-step solution
k 1 A l 1 T 1 - T = k 2 A l 2 T - T 2 k 1 l 2 + k 2 + l 1 T = k 1 l 2 T 1 + k 2 l 1 T 2 Or T = k 1 l 2 T 1 + k 2 k l 2 T 2 k 1 l 2 + k 2 l !
