Q.

Three different type of glasses are used to make a large glass slab. The thermal conductivity of glass slabs are k1,k2 and k3. The width of each glass slab is ω and cross-sectional area is A. The glass slabs are kept in a pattern as shown in the figure. The upper surface of glass slab is maintained at temperature T1 and lower surface at  T2 . It is given that k1=1.10W/mK, k2=2.82W/mK, k3=2.08W/mK, w=10cm,A=1.3m2,T1=1000C,T2=00C. Find equivalent thermal conductivity of large glass slab in W/mK.
