A long solid rod of 20 mm diameter was inserted into a furnace while the other end was projecting into atmosphere at 28°C. The temperature at two points 100 mm apart were measured and found to be 125°C and 91°C respectively. Estimate the thermal conductivity of the rod, if heat transfer coefficient is 17.45 W/m?K.
