Three conductors of same length having thermal conductivity \(k_1\), \(k_2\), and \(k_3\) are connected as shown in figure. Area of cross sections of 1st and 2nd conductor are same and for 3rd conductor it is double of the 1st conductor. The temperatures are given in the figure. In steady state condition, the value of θ is ________ °C. (Given: \(k_1\) = 60 Js⁻¹m⁻¹K⁻¹,\(k_2\) = 120 Js⁻¹m⁻¹K⁻¹, \(k_3\) = 135 Js⁻¹m⁻¹K⁻¹)
It is defined as the movement of heat across the border of the system due to a difference in temperature between system and its surroundings.
Heat can travel from one place to another in several ways. The different modes of heat transfer include:
