Question

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures T₁= 300K and T₂ = 100K, as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are K₁ and K₂ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is 200K, then K₁/ K₂ =__________.

Answer 1

solution 4.00

In steady state, heat current in both material is same
