उत्तर
Consider the diagram
θ = `(θ_1 + θ_2)/2`
Let temperature varies linearly in the rod from one end to the other ends. Let θ be the temperature of the mid-point of the rod. At steady state.
Rate of flow of heat,
`((dQ)/dt) = (KA (θ_1 - θ))/(L_0/2) = (KA(θ - θ_2))/(L_0/2)`
Where K is the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the rod
or ⇒ `θ_1 - θ = θ - θ_2`
or ⇒ θ = `(θ_1 + θ_2)/2`
Using relation, `L = L_0 (1 + αθ)`
or `L = L_0 [1 + θ((θ_1 + θ_2)/2)]`

We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say 10 cm. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remain constant. If αiron = 1.2 × 10−5/K and αbrass = 1.8 × 10−5/K, what should we take as length of each strip?

The equivalent thermal conductivity of the compound plate is `(1+5/alpha)`K, then the value of a will be ______.
