Heat Conduction

Two metallic blocks M1 and M2 of same area of cross-section are connected to each other (as shown in figure). If the thermal conductivity of M2 is K then the thermal conductivity of M1 will be: [Assume steady state heat conduction]

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Same heat current through both blocks: K1A(100−80)16=KA(80−0)8\frac{K_1A(100-80)}{16} = \frac{KA(80-0)}{8}
  2. 20K116=10K\frac{20K_1}{16} = 10K
  3. K1=8KK_1 = 8K, so the answer is (b).
