Three cylindrical rods A, B and C of equal lengths and equal diameters are joined in series as shown if Fig. Their thermal conductivities are 2K, K and 0.5K, respectively. In steady state, if the free ends of rods A and C are at `100^@C` and `0^@C`, respectively, calculate the temperature at the two junction points. Assume negligible loss by radiaiotn through the curved surface. What will be the equivalent thermal conductivity?
