Steady State Heat Conduction
A metal rod has one end in contact with a heat reservoir at 500 K and the other end in contact with a heat reservoir at 300 K. After reaching steady state, which of the following best describes the energy transfer within the rod?
A
Energy flows from 300 K to 500 K to maximize entropy
B
Energy flows until the rod reaches a uniform temperature of 400 K
C
Energy flows in both directions with zero net transfer
D
Energy flows continuously from the 500 K end to the 300 K end
