Assertion: $A$ thermos bottle consists of a double-walled glass vessel with the space between the two walls evacuated, so that the heat transfer between the contents of the bottle and the outside is minimized.
Reason: The vacuum between the two walls inhibits the heat transfer by the radiation mechanism.
Which of the following is correct?

  • A
    Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
  • B
    Assertion is true, Reason is true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

Write a note on a double-walled flask or a thermos.

Heat is flowing through a conductor of length $l$ from $x = 0$ to $x = l$. If its thermal resistance per unit length is uniform,which of the following graphs correctly represents the variation of temperature $T$ with distance $x$?

The radius of a conductor increases uniformly from the left end to the right end as shown in the figure. The material of the conductor is isotropic,and its curved surface is thermally isolated from the surroundings. Its ends are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$. If,in a steady state,the heat flow rate is equal to $H$,then which of the following graphs is correct?
