Problem 2.247

One end of a rod, enclosed in a thermally insulating sheath, is kept at a temperature T1T_{1} while the other, at T2T_{2 \cdot}. The rod is composed of two sections whose lengths are l1l_{1} and l2l_{2} and heat conductivity coefficients x1x_{1} and x2.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)
