Question

The temperature θ at the junction of two insulating sheets, having thermal resistances R 1 and R 2 as well as top and bottom temperatures θ 1 and θ 2 (as shown in figure) is given by :, θ 1 R 2 - θ 2 R 1 R 2 - R 1, θ 2 R 2 - θ 1 R 1 R 2 - R 1, θ 1 R 2 + θ 2 R 1 R 1 + R 2, θ 1 R 1 + θ 2 R 2 R 1 + R 2

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Heat flow rate will be same through both ∴ θ 1 - θ R 1 = θ - θ 2 R 2 R 2 θ 1 - R 2 θ = R 1 θ - R 1 θ 2 θ = R 2 θ 1 + R 1 θ 2 R 1 + R 2
