Rod 1, with a thermal conductivity of 373 W/m·K, rod 2, with a thermal conductivity of 292 W/m·K, and rod 3, with a thermal conductivity of 112 W/m·K, are placed end to end with rod 2 between the other two. The rods have the same length and the same diameter. The free end of rod 1 is maintained at water's boiling point, and the free end of rod 3 is maintained at water's freezing point. What is the steady-state temperature of (a) the rod 1-rod 2 junction and (b) the rod 2-rod 3 junction?

To determine the thermal conductivity of a long, 25.0 mm diameter cylindrical rod, one half of the rod was inserted into a furnace while the other half projected into air at 27.0 degrees C. After steady state had been reached, the temperatures at two points 76.0 mm apart were measured and were found to be 126 degrees C. and 91.0 degrees C. The convective heat transfer coefficient of the surface of the rod exposed to the air was 22.7 W/m^2...
