Discussion Forum : Heat Transfer - Section 10 (Q.No. 28)
28.
A composite wall consists of two plates A and B placed in series normal to the flow of heat. The thermal conductivities are kA and kB and the specific heat capacities are CPA and CPB for plates A and B respectively. Plate B has twice the thickness of plate A. At steady state, the temperature difference across plate A is greater than that across plate B, when
CPA > CPB
CPA < CPB
kA < 0.5kB
kA>2 kB

Thermal conductivity is inversely proportional to temperature difference.

Here temperature difference across plate A is greater so the thermal conductivity of A is less than B.

So, only option C is correct.

Why the options are in '<' or '>'? s

Should it be in '=' to make it more understandable?
