A solid cylinder of radius R made of material of thermal conductivity K_(1) is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius R and outer radius 2R made of a material of thermal conductivity K_(2). The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures . Then there is no loss of heat across the sylinderical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is :

Answer»

`K_(1)+K_(2)`
`(K_(1)K_(2))/(K_(1)+K_(2))`
`(2K_(1)+K_(2))/(4)`
`(K_(1)+3K_(2))/(4)`

Solution :As there is no of heat, and the system is in steady state.
`:.Q_("TOTAL")=Q_(1)+Q_(2)`
`rArr(K(4R^(2))d theta)/(dx)=(K_(1)R^(2)d theta)/(dx)`
`rArr4K=K_(1)+3K_(2)`
`rArrK=(K_(1)+3K_(2))/(4)`
So, correct choice is (d).
