Question
The temperature of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab, consisting of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity
and 2
and thickness
and 4
, respectively are
and
. The rate of heat transfer through the slab, in a steady state is
, with
equals to

- 1/3
- 2/3
- 1/3
The correct answer is: 1/3
Let the temperature of common interface be
. Rate of heat flow

=
And
=
In steady state, the rate of heat flow should be same in whole system 

= 


(i)
Hence, heat flow from composite slab is

=
(ii)
Accordingly,
(iii)
By comparing Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get
