I have solved this question earlier with different figures. Please workout using yours figures. If you need any further help just PM me. If I have helped you please rate me 5 stars first (before you rate anyone else)

A heat conducting rod, 0.90 m long, is made of an aluminum section, 0.20 m long, and a copper section, 0.70 m long. Both sections have a cross-sectional area of 0.0004 m^2. The aluminum end and the copper end are maintained at temperatures of 30*C and 230*C respectively. The thermal conductivities of aluminum and copper are 205 and 385 W/m ? K, respectively. The temperature of the aluminum-copper junction in the rod, in *C, is closest to:

resistance of each rod is given by

R = L / kA

aluminum: R = 0.20 / 205 * 0.0004 = 2.439

copper: R = 0.70 / 385 * 0.0004 = 4.545

total resistance = 2.439 + 4.545 = 6.9845

total rate of heat flow = total temp diff / total resistance = 200 / 6.9845 = 28.635 Watts

temp diff across aluminum = heat flow * resistance = 28.635 * 2.439 = 69.84 deg C

Since one end of the aluminum is at 30 deg C, the other end is

30 + 69.84 = 99.84 = 100 deg C is the temp at the junction

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...
