A heat conducting rod, 0.90 m long, is made of an aluminum section that is 0.10 m long, and a copper section that is 0.80 m long. Both sections have cross-sectional areas of 0.00040 m2

The aluminum end is maintained at a temperature of 40°C and the copper end is at 150°. The thermal conductivity of aluminum is 205 W/m?K and of copper is 385 W/m?K. Steady state has been reached, and no heat is lost through the well-insulated sides of the rod. The temperature of the aluminum-copper junction in the rod is closest to A) 61°C.
B) 58°C.
C) 56°C.
D) 54°C.
E) 52°C.
