The correct Answer is:
To find the temperature at the interface of the two sections of a thermally insulated rod, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Setup**: We have a rod divided into two sections. The left section has a length \( l_1 \) and thermal conductivity \( k_1 \), while the right section has a length \( l_2 \) and thermal conductivity \( k_2 \). The left end of the rod is at temperature \( T_1 \) and the right end is at temperature \( T_2 \). 2. **Apply the Concept of Steady-State Heat Flow**: In a steady-state condition, the rate of heat flow through both sections of the rod must be equal. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \frac{dQ_1}{dt} = \frac{dQ_2}{dt} \] where \( dQ_1 \) and \( dQ_2 \) are the heat flows through the first and second sections, respectively. 3. **Write the Heat Flow Equations**: The heat flow through the first section can be given by: \[ \frac{dQ_1}{dt} = k_1 A \frac{T_1 - T}{l_1} \] The heat flow through the second section can be expressed as: \[ \frac{dQ_2}{dt} = k_2 A \frac{T - T_2}{l_2} \] Here, \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the rod. 4. **Set the Heat Flow Equations Equal**: Since \( \frac{dQ_1}{dt} = \frac{dQ_2}{dt} \), we can equate the two equations: \[ k_1 A \frac{T_1 - T}{l_1} = k_2 A \frac{T - T_2}{l_2} \] The area \( A \) cancels out from both sides: \[ k_1 \frac{T_1 - T}{l_1} = k_2 \frac{T - T_2}{l_2} \] 5. **Rearrange the Equation**: Rearranging gives: \[ k_1 (T_1 - T) l_2 = k_2 (T - T_2) l_1 \] 6. **Expand and Collect Terms**: Expanding both sides: \[ k_1 l_2 T_1 - k_1 l_2 T = k_2 l_1 T - k_2 l_1 T_2 \] Rearranging to isolate terms involving \( T \): \[ k_1 l_2 T_1 + k_2 l_1 T_2 = k_1 l_2 T + k_2 l_1 T \] 7. **Factor Out \( T \)**: Factoring \( T \) from the right side: \[ k_1 l_2 T_1 + k_2 l_1 T_2 = T (k_1 l_2 + k_2 l_1) \] 8. **Solve for \( T \)**: Finally, we can solve for \( T \): \[ T = \frac{k_1 l_2 T_1 + k_2 l_1 T_2}{k_1 l_2 + k_2 l_1} \] ### Final Answer: The temperature at the interface of the two sections is: \[ T = \frac{k_1 l_2 T_1 + k_2 l_1 T_2}{k_1 l_2 + k_2 l_1} \]
