Detailed Solution
rate of transfer of heat is Qt=KA(θ1-θ2)l here k is coefficient of thermal conductivity A is area of cross section θ1-θ2 is temperature difference l is length of width at steady state , heat transfer is constant temperature across layer A is θ1-θ temperature across layer B is θ-θ2 Qt=K1A(θ1-θ)l1=K2A(θ-θ2)l2 3(θ1-θ)=12(θ-θ2)---(1) (θ1-θ2)=350C⇒θ2=θ1-35---(2) on substituting the value of θ2 from eqn(2) in eqn(1) ⇒3θ1-3θ=12θ-12θ1-35⇒6θ1-6θ=θ-θ1+35⇒7θ1-θ=35 θ1-θ=50C=temperature difference across layer A
