Answer»

Solution :(a) Thermal resistance ofrod 1
`R_(1) = (L)/(2KA) = R_(0)`
Thermal resistance of rod 2
`R_(2) = (L)/(KA) = 2 R_(0)`
Heat CURRENT in rods is same
`i= (Delta theta)/(R )`
`i= (100 - theta)/(R _(1)) = (theta - 2 0)/(R_(2))`
`(100 - theta)/(R_(0)) = (theta- 20)/(2 R_(0))`
`200 - 2 theta = theta - 20`
`3 theta = 220`
`theta = (220)/(3).^(@)C`
(B) `R_(1) (L)/(KA) = R_(0)`
`R_(2) = (L)/(2KLa) = (R_(0))/(2)`
`R_(3) = (L)/(4 KA) = (R_(0))/(4)`
`i = i_(1) + i_(2)`
`(100 - theta)/(R_(1)) = (theta - 40)/(R_(2)) + (theta - 10)/(R_(3))`
`(100 - theta)/(R_(0)) = (theta - 40)/(R_(0)//2) + (theta - 10)/(R_(0)//4)`
`100 - theta = 0 (theta - 40) + 4 (theta - 10)`
`= 2 theta- 80 + 40 - 40`
`7 theta = 220`
`theta = (220)/(7).^(@)C`
(c ) `R_(1) = (L//2)/(KA) = (L)/(2KA) = R_(0)`
`R_(2) = (L)/(KA) = 2 R_(0)`
`R_(3) = (L//2)/(2KA) = (L)/(4KA) = (R_(0))/(2)`
`i = i_(1) + i_(2)`
`(100 - theta)/(R_(1)) = (theta - 20)/(R_(2)) + (theta - 40)/(R_(3))`
`(100 - theta)/(R_(0)) = (theta - 20)/(2 R_(0)) + (theta - 40)/(R_(0) // 2)`
`100 - theta = (theta - 20)/(2) + 2 (theta - 40)`
`200 - 2 theta = theta - 20 + 4 theta - 160`
`7 theta = 380`
`theta = (380)/(7).^(@)C`
Let `(L)/(KA) = R`
`i = i_(1) + i_(2)`
`(T_(1) - theta)/(R ) = (theta - T_(2))/(R + (R)/(2)) + (theta - T_(3))/(R + (R)/(2))`
`T_(1) - theta = (2)/(3) (2 theta - T_(2) - T_(3))`
`3 T_(1) - 3 theta = 4 theta - 2 T_(2) - 2 T_(3)`
`7 theta = 3 T_(1) + 2 T_(2) +2 T_(3)`
`theta = (3 T_(1) + 2 T_(2) + 2 T_(3))/(7)`
