Problem 2.247

One end of a rod, enclosed in a thermally insulating sheath, is kept at a temperature \(T_{1}\) while the other, at \(T_{2 \cdot}\). The rod is composed of two sections whose lengths are \(l_{1}\) and \(l_{2}\) and heat conductivity coefficients \(x_{1}\) and \(x_{2} .\) Find the temperature of the interface.

Reveal Answer
T=(x1T1/l1+x2T2/l2)/(x1/l1+x2/l2)T=\left(x_{1} T_{1} / l_{1}+x_{2} T_{2} / l_{2}\right) /\left(x_{1} / l_{1}+x_{2} / l_{2}\right)
