Chapter 11, Problem 45P
A copper rod and an aluminum rod of equal diameter are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is held constant at 100.°C and that of the far end of the aluminum rod is held at 0°C. If the copper rod is 0.15 m long, what must be the length of the aluminum rod so that the temperature at the junction is 50.°C?

A copper bar is welded end to end to a bar of an unknown metal. The two bars have the same lengths and cross-sectional areas. The free end of the copper bar is maintained at a temperature TH that can be varied. The free end of the unknown metal is kept at 0.0∘C. To measure the thermal conductivity of the unknown metal, you measure the temperature T at the junction between the two bars for several values of TH. You plot your data as T versus TH both in kelvins, and find that your data are well fit by a straight line that has slope 0.460.
What do your measurements give for the value of the thermal conductivity of the unknown metal? Use kCu = 385 W/(m⋅K) .
A copper plate has a length of 0.12 m and a width of 0.10 m at 25 °C. The plate is uniformly heated to 175 °C. If the linear expansion coefficient for copper is 1.7 × 10–5/C°, what is the change in the area of the plate as a result of the increase in temperature?
A walrus transfers energy by conduction through its blubber at the rate of 150 W when immersed in −1.00 °C water. The walrus’s internal core temperature is 37.0 °C , and it has a surface area of 2.00 m2 . What is the average thickness of its blubber, which has the conductivity of fatty tissues without blood?
