Conduction: A heat-conducting rod, 0.90 m long and wrapped in insulation, is made of an aluminum section that is 0.20 m long and a copper section that is 0.70 m long. Both sections have a cross-sectional area of 0.00040 m2. The aluminum end and the copper end are maintained at temperatures of 30°C and 230°C, respectively. The thermal conductivities of aluminum and copper are 205 W/m ? K (aluminum) and 385 W/m ? K (copper). What is the temperature of the aluminum-copper junction in the rod with steady state heat flow?

A. 100°C
B. 93°C
C. 86°C
D. 80°C
E. 74°C
