Thermal Properties of Matter

  1. Consider a compound slab consisting of two different materials having equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities K and 2K, respectively. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab is
    1. 4
      K
      3
    2. 2
      K
      3
    3. 3 K
    4. 3K
Correct Option: A

In series, equivalent thermal conductivity

Keq =
2K1K2
K1 + K2

or, Keq =
2 × K × 2K
=
4
K
K + 2K3
