Steam at $373 K$ is passed through a tube of radius $10 cm$ and length $2 m$. The thickness of the tube is $5 mm$ and the thermal conductivity of its material is $390 W m^{-1} K^{-1}$. Calculate the heat lost per second. The outside temperature is $0^{\circ}C$.

The thermal conductivities of copper,mercury,and glass are $K_c$,$K_m$,and $K_g$ respectively,such that $K_c > K_m > K_g$. If the same amount of heat flows per unit time through a unit cross-sectional area for each,what is the relationship between their temperature gradients $(X_c, X_m, X_g)$?

$A$ copper rod of length $10 \ cm$ and cross-sectional area $100 \ cm^2$ is to conduct $4000 \ J/s$ of heat. The thermal conductivity of copper is $400 \ W/m \cdot ^\circ C$. The temperature difference between the two ends of the rod must be maintained at ............. $^\circ C$.

Two metal rods $1$ and $2$ have the same length and the same temperature difference at their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ and their cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively. The condition for the same rate of heat flow in them is ........

Same quantity of ice is filled in each of the two metal containers $P$ and $Q$ having the same size, shape, and wall thickness but made of different materials. The containers are kept in identical surroundings. The ice in $P$ melts completely in time $t_{1}$ whereas in $Q$ it takes a time $t_{2}$. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials of $P$ and $Q$ is

Two walls of thickness $d_1$ and $d_2$ and thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$ are in contact. In the steady state,the temperatures of the outer surfaces are $T_1$ and $T_2$. Find the temperature of the common interface.
