Q.

Three rods of material X and three rods of material Y are connected as shown in figure. All are identical in length and cross-sectional area. If end A is maintained at 600C, end E at 100C, thermal conductivity of X is 0.92cal1cm1C 1  0 and that of Y is  0.46cal1cm1C 1  0, then sum of the temperatures of junctions B,C,D is______  °C

Detailed Solution

Let L be the length of each rod. 
Temperature of A = 60° C temperature of E= 10° C 
Let θ1,θ2,θ3  be respective temperture of  B, C, D
If Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4,Q5,Q6 are the amounts of heat 
following/sec respectively from A to B;Bto C ; Bto D; C to D;D
to E and C to E, then using figure.

Q1=0.46A(60θ1)L,Q2=0.92A(θ1θ2)L Q3=0.46A(θ1θ2)L,Q4=0.92A(θ2θ3)L Q5=0.46A(θ310)L,Q6=0.92A(θ210)L Now,  Q1=Q2+Q3 0.46A(60θ1)L=0.92A(θ1θ2)L+0.46A(θ1θ3)L 60θ1=2(θ1θ2)+θ1θ3

Again,  Q2=Q4+Q6 gives  θ13θ2θ3=10° 
Solving  Eqs. (i) , (ii) and (iii) we get   θ1+30°C,θ2=20°C,θ3=20°C
