$A$ 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 $t$?

  • A
    $Q/4$
  • B
    $Q/16$
  • C

One end of a $2.35\,m$ long and $2.0\,cm$ radius aluminium rod $(K = 235\,W\cdot m^{-1}K^{-1})$ is held at $20^{\circ}C$. The other end of the rod is in contact with a block of ice at its melting point. The rate in $kg\cdot s^{-1}$ at which ice melts is (Take latent heat of fusion for ice as $\frac{10}{3} \times 10^5\,J\cdot kg^{-1}$)

The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper,mercury,and glass are respectively $K_c, K_m$,and $K_g$ such that $K_c > K_m > K_g$. If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $X_c, X_m$,and $X_g$,then:

Two slabs have thicknesses $d_{1}$ and $d_{2}$. Their thermal conductivities are $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively. They are in series. The free ends of the combination of these two slabs are kept at temperatures $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$. Assume $\theta_{1} > \theta_{2}$. The temperature $\theta$ of their common junction is

Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K_{1}, K_{2},$ and $K_{3}$,respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod. One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the other at $0^{\circ} C$. If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod,the correct relationship between $K_{1}, K_{2}$ and $K_{3}$ is:
