An aluminium bar of length 45.0 cm and a steel bar of length 60.0 cm and same cross-
section area are joined thermally end-to-end (see diagram below). The aluminium end is kept at
350 0 C and the steel end at 80.0 0 C. [k aluminium = 200 W/m K, k steel = 40 W/mK]

Q6 cont’d.
a) Find the temperature where the 2 metals are joined. (Use example given in class)
b) Draw a graph of temperature versus length, x, for the compound bar.
