    The coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is 9 times that of steel. In the composite cylindrical bar shown in the figure, what will be the temperature at the junction of copper and steel?

    A)  \[75{}^\circ C~\]

    B)  \[67{}^\circ C\]

    C)  \[25{}^\circ C~\]

    D)  \[33{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Temperature of interface\[\theta =\frac{{{K}_{1}}{{\theta }_{1}}{{l}_{2}}+{{K}_{2}}{{\theta }_{2}}{{l}_{1}}}{{{K}_{1}}{{l}_{2}}+{{K}_{2}}{{l}_{1}}}\] It is given that\[{{K}_{Cu}}=9{{K}_{s}}\] So, if \[{{S}_{s}}={{K}_{1}}=K,\] then \[{{K}_{Cu}}={{K}_{2}}=9K\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =\frac{9K\times 100\times 6+K\times 0\times 18}{9K\times 6+K\times 18}\] \[=\frac{5400K}{72K}={{75}^{o}}C\]
