(c) $\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}} = - KA\frac{{d\theta }}{{dx}}$
( $\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}},$ $K$ and $A$ are constants for all points
$ \Rightarrow \,\,d\theta \propto - dx$; i.e. temperature will decrease linearly with $x$ .

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 length $l_1$ and $l_2$ and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The temperature at the interface of the two section is
Two identical square rods of metal are welded end to end as shown in figure $(a)$. Assume that $10\, cal$ of heat flows through the rods in $2\, min$. Now the rods are welded as shown in figure, $(b)$. The time it would take for $10$ cal to flow through the rods now, is ........ $\min$
Hot water cools from ${60^o}C$ to ${50^o}C$ in the first $10$ minutes and to ${42^o}C$ in the next $10$ minutes. The temperature of the surrounding is ......... $^oC$
Three very large plates of same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. The first and third plates are maintained at temperatures $2\ T$ and $3\ T$ respectively. The temperature of the middle ($i.e.$ second) plate under steady state condition is
$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity ${K_1}$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of material of thermal conductivity ${K_2}$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is
