8. A material X of thickness 1.0 cm with cross sectional area 1m 2 is in thermal contact with
another material Y of thickness 10 cm, as shown in figure below. The temperature of the
exposed surface of X and Y are 30oC and 15oC respectively. Determine the
a) temperature of the interface between the two materials. [Ans: 27.3 0C]
b) amount of heat flowing through unit area of X and Y per second.
[Ans: 35 J]
(Thermal conductivity of X and Y are 0.13 W m-1 K-1 and 0.29 W m-1 K-1)

1. Thermal conductivity of a window glass is 0.90 W m-1
K-1. Find the rate at which heat is conducted through a
window of area 1.6 m2 and thickness 6.0 mm if the
temperature in a room is 26 oC and the outdoor
temperature is 34 oC. [Ans : 1920 W]

3. An insulated thin bar had both its ends maintained at
different temperatures. The temperatures of the
cooler end is 10 oC and the temperature of the warmer
and is 50 oC. Find the length of the bar if the
temperature at a point 0.15 m from the cooler end is
23 oC. [Ans : 0.46 m]

5. A glass window of cross-sectional area 1.50 m2 and
thickness 0.20 cm is closed in winter. The
temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the
window are 15˚C and 0˚C.
a) Calculate the rate of heat flow through the
window. [Ans: 9450 W]
b) Suggest how you would reduce the amount of
heat loss to the surroundings through this
window. (Thermal conductivity of glass = 0.84 W
