The video tutorial explains how to calculate heat flow through a bar composed of brass, copper, and aluminum sections. It starts by introducing the problem, where one side of the bar is at 100°C and the other at 0°C, with no heat loss to the sides. The tutorial then details the calculation of heat flow using the formula for thermal resistance and the given dimensions and properties of the materials. Finally, it demonstrates how to determine the temperatures at the junctions between the different metal sections using the calculated heat flow.

What is the formula for calculating heat flow through the bar?

Q dot = (Temperature difference) - (Sum of heat resistances)

Q dot = (Sum of heat resistances) / (Temperature difference)

Q dot = (Temperature difference) / (Sum of heat resistances)

Q dot = (Temperature difference) * (Sum of heat resistances)
