Rods of copper, brass, and steel—each with cross-sectional area of 2.00 cm2—are welded together to form a Y-shaped figure. The free end of the copper rod is maintained at 100.0°C, and the free ends of the brass and steel rods at 0.0 C. Assume that there is no heat loss from the surfaces of the rods. The lengths of the rods are: copper, 13.0 cm; brass, 18.0 cm; steel, 24.0 cm. What is (a) the temperature of the junction point; (b) the heat current in each of the three rods?

- 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) .arrow_forwardA 900 g copper rod at 20oC has a length of 1.0000 m.
