Thermal Properties of Matter

Two cylindrical rods A and B made of different materials, are joined in a straight line. The ratios of lengths, radii and thermal conductivities of these rods are: LALB = 12, rArB = 2 and KAKB = 12. The free ends of rods A and B are maintained at 400 K, 200 K, respectively. The temperature of rods interface is K, when equilibrium is established.
