Q. A composite wall consists of two plates A and B placed in series normal to the flow of heat. The thermal conductivities are kA and kB and the specific heat capacities are CPA and CPB for plates A and B respectively. Plate B has twice the thickness of plate A. At steady state, the temperature difference across plate A is greater than that across plate B, when (Solved)
1. CPA > CPB
2. CPA < CPB
3. kA < 0.5 kB
4. kA >2 kB
- c. kA < 0.5 kB
