A composite wall consists of two plates A and B placed in series normal to the flow of heat. The thermal conductivities are k_A and k_B and the specific heat capacities are C_PA and C_PB for plates A and B respectively. Plate B has twice the thickness of plate A. At steady state, the temperature difference across plate A is greater than that across plate B, when
