Two long, silver rods (k = 400 W/mK, diameter = 10 mm) are soldered together end to end, with the solder having a melting point of 520°C. The rods are in air at 20°C with a convection coefficient of 10 W/m2K. Ignoring radiation, what is the minimum power input needed to complete the soldering? Comment on how including radiation would have affected your calculated estimate of power needed for the soldering.
