The figure shows three different series arrangements of materials 11, 22 and 33 to form a wall, each layer having equal thickness. Thermal conductivities satisfy k1>k2>k3k_1 > k_2 > k_3. The left side of the wall is 20 ∘C20\,^\circ\text{C} higher than the right side. The temperature difference ΔT\Delta T across material 11 has the following relation in the three cases: (a) layers 11–22–33, (b) layers 11–33–22, and (c) layers 22–33–11.
