Important Questions on Heat Transfer

Two identical square rods of metal are welded end to end as shown in figure (a). Assume that of heat flows through the rods in . Now the rods are welded as shown in the figure, (b). The time it would take for to flow through the rods now, is

Three metal rods made of copper, aluminium and brass, each long and in diameter, are placed end to end with aluminium between the other two. The free ends of copper and brass are maintained at and respectively. Assume that the thermal conductivity of copper is twice that of aluminium and four times that of brass. The approximate equilibrium temperatures of the copper aluminium and aluminium-brass junctions are respectively-

A closed cubical box is made of a perfectly insulating material walls of thickness and the only way for heat to enter or leave the box is through two solid metallic cylindrical plugs, each of cross-sectional area and length , fixed in the opposite walls of the box. The outer surface on one plug is maintained at while the outer surface of the other plug is maintained at . The thermal conductivity of the material of each plug is . A source of energy generating is enclosed inside the box. Assuming the temperature to be the same at all points on the inner surface, the equilibrium temperature of the inner surface of the box is
