You Are Testing Thermal Conduction Through a Composite Material Made $\circ$

question 28

Multiple Choice

You are testing thermal conduction through a composite material made up of two layers, A and B. Layer A is twice as thick as layer B, and the thermal conductivity of material A is three times higher than that of material B. If the temperature on the outside surface of A is 80 ^$\circ$ C, and the temperature on the outside surface of B is 10 ^$\circ$ C, find the temperature at the interface of the two materials once a steady state of heat flow has been established.

Heart Failure

A medical condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently throughout the body, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, and fluid retention.

Jugular Vein Pulsations

Observable pulsing of the jugular veins in the neck, which can indicate the heart's function and central venous pressure.

Normal Splitting

A physiological phenomenon where the heart's second sound (S2) separates into two distinct sounds during inhalation due to the delay in closure between the aortic and pulmonary valves.
