An ice box is used to keep food cool,having a surface area of $1 \, m^2$ and a thickness of $5.0 \, cm$. The thermal conductivity of the ice box material is $K = 0.01 \, J/(m \cdot s \cdot ^\circ C)$. The inside temperature is maintained at $0 \, ^\circ C$ and the outside temperature is $30 \, ^\circ C$. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $334 \times 10^3 \, J/kg$,calculate the mass of ice that melts in one day.

  • A
    $2.90$
  • B
    $2.20$
  • C
    $0.85$
  • D

Two rods,one made of copper and the other of steel,having the same length and cross-sectional area,are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper is $385 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$ and that of steel is $50 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$. If the copper end is held at $100^{\circ} C$ and the steel end is held at $0^{\circ} C$,the junction temperature is ........... $^{\circ} C$ (Assuming no other heat losses).

Five rods of same dimensions are arranged as shown in the figure. They have thermal conductivities $K_1, K_2, K_3, K_4$ and $K_5$. When points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperatures,no heat flows through the central rod if

Why does a metal bar appear hotter than a wooden bar at the same temperature? Equivalently,it also appears cooler than a wooden bar if they are both colder than room temperature.

$A$ cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat $Q$ in time $t$. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod,when placed in thermal contact with the two reservoirs in time $t$?

The figure shows a system of two concentric spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ kept at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$,respectively. The radial rate of flow of heat in a substance between the two concentric spheres is proportional to
