$A$ conducting rod of length $1 \,m$ has an area of cross-section $10^{-3} \,m^2$. One end is immersed in boiling water $(100^{\circ} C)$ and the other end in ice $(0^{\circ} C)$. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the rod is $96 \,cal/(s \cdot m \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and the latent heat of fusion for ice is $8 \times 10^4 \,cal/kg$,then the amount of ice that will melt in one minute is:

  • A
    $5.4 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • B
    $7.2 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • C
    $1.8 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • D
    $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$

The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$. The rate of heat transfer,$\frac{dQ}{dt}$,through the rod in a steady state is given by:

The rate of heat flow through the cross-section of the rod shown in the figure is ($T_2 > T_1$ and the thermal conductivity of the material of the rod is $K$).

Wires $A$ and $B$ have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of $A$ is twice the radius of $B$,$i.e.$,${r_A} = 2{r_B}$. For a given temperature difference between the two ends,both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by:
