Q.

A metal rod AB of uniform cross sectional area is conducting heat from end A to end B and temperature difference between ends A and B  is 100oC. Mid point of the rod is C. Coefficient of thermal conductivity of the rod linearly increases from KC at end A to 2KC at end B. Then temperature difference between A and C is

Detailed Solution

Since coefficient of thermal conductivity of the rod gradually increases from end A to end B and thermal resistance R=lKA, it is evident that thermal resistance of the part AC is less than that of the part CB is RAC<RCB.

Now rate of heat conduction Q=ΔθACRAC=ΔθABRAC+RBC

ΔθAC=ΔθAB1+RBCRAC<ΔθAB2

ΔθAC<50oC
