Two plates, one of aluminum with a tickness of 14mm and one of brass with thickness of 9mm were attached to each other. Determine the thickness of a board of another metallic material with thermal conductivity λ= 79W / mK so that it conducts an equal heat flow as together fasten the boards at the same total temperature drop across the structure. The thermal conductivity for aluminium is λAI = 238W / mK and for brass λm = 111W / mK
