Q. A slender rod of length L, diameter d ( L >> d ) and thermal conductivity k1 is joined with another rod of identical dimensions, but of thermal conductivity k2 , to form a composite cylindrical rod of length 2L . The heat transfer in radial direction and contact resistance are negligible. The effective thermal conductivity of the composite rod is
