Step 1:

The length of the copper rod is image.

The diameter of the copper rod is image.

The one end is kept at image.

The othe end of the copper rod is immersed in water at image.

Find the heat conduction rate along the rod.

The heat conduction rate is image,

where image is the thermal conductivity of the material,

image is the cross section area,

image is the higher temperature,

image is the cooler temperature and

image is the distance between two ends.

Thermal conductivity of copper is image.

Assume that the rod has uniform thickness.

The cross sectional area of the rod is image.

Substitute image.

image.

The cross sectional area is image.

Step 2:

The heat conduction rate is image

Substitute image, image, image, image and image.

image.

The heat conduction rate along the rod is image.

Solution:

The heat conduction rate along the rod is image.
