When the pressure on water is increased,the boiling temperature of water as compared to $100^{\circ}C$ will be:

Explain why:
$(a)$ Two bodies at different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$,if brought in thermal contact,do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature $(T_1 + T_2) / 2$.
$(b)$ The coolant in a chemical or a nuclear plant (i.e.,the liquid used to prevent the different parts of a plant from getting too hot) should have high specific heat.
$(c)$ Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving.
$(d)$ The climate of a harbour town is more temperate than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude.

What is sublimation? Give names of sublimable substances.

Water falls from a height of $210 \, m$. Assuming the whole of the energy due to the fall is converted into heat,the rise in temperature of water would be .......... $^\circ C$ $(J = 4.3 \, J/cal)$.

When water is heated from $0^{\circ}C$ to $4^{\circ}C$,which of the following relations holds true?

$A$ thermocouple produces $40 \, \mu V/K$. The temperatures of the cold and hot junctions are $40 \, ^\circ C$ and $20 \, ^\circ C$ respectively. If $150$ such thermocouples are connected in series,what is the total thermo-emf produced in $mV$?
