Two very long slender rods of the same diameter are given. One rod is of aluminum and has a thermal conductivity k1=200W/ (m.0C), but the thermal conductivity k2 of the other rod is not known. To determine the thermal conductivity of the other rod, one end of each rod is thermally attached to a metal surface which is maintained at a constant temperature T0. Both rods are losing heat by convection with a heat transfer coefficient h into the ambient air at T∞. The surface temperature of each rod is measured at various distances from the hot base surface. The temperature of the aluminum rod at x1=40cm from the base is the same as that of the rod of unknown thermal conductivity at x2=20cm from the base. Determine the thermal conductivity of k2 of second rod.

A longitudinal standing wave can be created in a long, thin aluminum rod by stroking the rod with very dry fingers. This is often done as a physics demonstration, creating a high-pitched, very annoying whine. From a wave perspective, the standing wave is equivalent to a sound standing wave in an open-open tube. In particular, both ends of the rod are anti-nodes. (Figure 1) Part A What is the fundamental frequency of a 2.20 -long aluminum rod? The speed of...
