Rods x and y of equal dimensions but of different materials are joined as shown in figure. Temperatures of end points A and F are maintained at \( 100^{\circ}C \) and \( 40^{\circ}C \) respectively. Given the thermal conductivity of rod x is three times of that of rod y, the temperature at junction points B and E are (close to):

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 89^{\circ}C \) and \( 73^{\circ}C \) respectively

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\left[ R =\frac{\ell}{3 KA }\right]\)
image
\(\left[ H =\frac{100-40}{\frac{11 R }{2}}\right]\) \(\quad\) ... (1)
\(H=\frac{100-T_B}{R}\)\(\quad\) ... (2)
\(H =\frac{ T _{ E }-40}{3 R }\)\(\quad\) ... (3)
using (1) and (2)
\(120=1100-11 T_{ A }\)
\(T _{ B }=89^{\circ} C\)
using (1) and (3)
\(T _{ E }=73^{\circ} C\)
