  1. Heat transfer through a composite wall is shown in figure. Both the sections of the wall have equal thickness (/). The conductivity of one section is k and that of the other is 2k. The left face of the wall is at 600 K and the right face is at 300 K.

    The interface temperature Ti (in K) of the composite wall is __________
    1. 400 K
    2. 600 K
    3. 700 K
    4. 800 K

At interface,
Q =

200 = 600 – Ti
Ti = 400 K
