$A$ cylindrical rod has temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $Q_1 \ cal/sec$. If all the linear dimensions are doubled while keeping the temperatures constant,then the new rate of flow of heat $Q_2$ will be:

The length of a metal rod is $20 \ cm$ and its area of cross-section is $4 \ cm^2$. If one end of the rod is kept at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ and the other end is kept in ice at $0^{\circ} C$, then the mass of the ice melted in $7 \ minutes$ is (Thermal conductivity of the metal $= 90 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $= 336 \times 10^3 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) (in $g$)

Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii $20 \text{ cm}$ and $30 \text{ cm}$, respectively, are placed with their centers coinciding. $A$ material of thermal conductivity $\alpha$ is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at $300 \text{ K}$ and the outer shell at $310 \text{ K}$. If the rate at which heat flows radially through the material is $40 \text{ W}$, find the value of $\alpha$ (in units of $\text{J s}^{-1} \text{ m}^{-1} \text{ K}^{-1}$).

On which factor does the thermal conductivity depend?

Which of the following circular rods (given radius $r$ and length $l$),each made of the same material and whose ends are maintained at the same temperature difference,will conduct the most heat?

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 $0^{\circ}C$.
