The temperature variation under steady heat conduction across a composite slab of two materials with thermal conductivities k1 and k2 is shown in figure then, which one of the following statements holds?
-
- k1 > k2
- k1 = k2
- k1 = 0
- k1 < k2
- k1 > k2
Correct Option: A
Q = KA | ||
dx |
where Slope = | = | |||
dx | KA |
i.e., slope is more for less value of K, therefore
> | ||||||||
dx | Ⅰ material | dx | Ⅱ material |
∴ K1 < K2
