  • question_answer
    A cylinder of radius R is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius R and outer radius 2R. The thermal conductivity of the material of the inner cylinder is \[{{K}_{1}}\]and that of the outer cylinder is\[{{K}_{2}}\]. Assuming no loss of heat, the effective thermal conductivity of the system for heat flowing along the length of the cylinder is [JEE Main Online Paper Held On 12-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) \[\frac{2{{K}_{1}}+3{{K}_{2}}}{5}\]                          

    B) \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}+{{K}_{2}}}{2}\]

    C) \[{{K}_{1}}+{{K}_{2}}\]                    

    D)   \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}+3{{K}_{2}}}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We know that thermal resistance \[R=\frac{l}{KA}\] For inner cylinder \[{{R}_{1}}=\frac{l}{{{K}_{1}}\pi {{R}^{2}}}\] For outer cylinder\[{{R}_{2}}=\frac{l}{{{K}_{2}}\pi [{{(2R)}^{2}}-{{(R)}^{2}}]}\] \[{{R}_{2}}=\frac{l}{{{K}_{2}}\pi 3{{R}^{2}}}\] \[{{R}_{eq}}\]is the equivalent thermal resistance of the cylinder \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{eq}}}=\frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}}\] \[\frac{{{K}_{eq}}4\pi {{R}^{2}}}{l}=\frac{{{K}_{l}}\pi {{R}^{2}}}{l}+\frac{3{{K}_{2}}\pi {{R}^{2}}}{l}\] \[4{{K}_{eq}}={{K}_{1}}+3{{K}_{2}}\] \[{{K}_{eq}}=\frac{{{K}_{1}}+3{{K}_{2}}}{4}\]
