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 metal rod is 10 cm long and has a diameter of 2 cm one end is in contact with steam at 100 deg C while the other end contacts a block of ice at 0 deg C. The cylindrical surface of the rod is carefully insulated so heat flows only from one end to end. In a time of 20 minutes, 320 grams of ice melts. What is the thermal conductivity of the metal?
An aluminum bar has a cross-section that is 5.1 cm by 6.93 cm and is 1.91 m long. Aluminum has a thermal conductivity of 205 W/m K. If the aluminum bar is used to bridge between ice at 0 °C and boiling water at 100 °C, what is the rate of heat transfer (in W) along the bar?
