Two chunks of metal with heat capacities...

Two chunks of metal with heat capacities `C_(1)` and `C_(2)`, are interconnected by a rod length `l` and cross-sectional area `S` and fairly low heat conductivity `K`. The whole system is thermally insulated from the environment. At a moment `t = 0` the temperature difference betwene the two chunks of metal equals `(DeltaT)_(0)`. Assuming the heat capacity of the rod to be negligible, find the temperature difference between the chucks as a function of time.

Two adiabatic vessels, each containing the same mass m of water but at different temperatures, are connected by a rod of length L, cross-section A, and thermal conductivity K. the ends of the rod are inserted into the vessels, while the rest of the rod is insulated so that .there is negligible loss of heat into the atmosphere. The specific heat capacity of water is s, while that of the rod is negligible. The temperature difference between the two vessels reduces to l//e of its original value after a time, delta t . The thermal conductivity (K) of the rod may be expressed by:
