The temperature difference between two sides of an iron plate,$1.8 \ cm$ thick is $9^{\circ} C$. Heat is transmitted through the plate at a rate of $10 \ kcal / (s \cdot m^2)$ at steady state. The thermal conductivity of iron is:

  • A
    $0.02 \ kcal / (m \cdot s \cdot ^{\circ} C)$
  • B
    $0.04 \ kcal / (m \cdot s \cdot ^{\circ} C)$
  • C
    $0.05 \ kcal / (m \cdot s \cdot ^{\circ} C)$
  • D
    $0.004 \ kcal / (m \cdot s \cdot ^{\circ} C)$

If $4 \, kg$ of ice is inside a closed cubical thermocol box of side length $20 \, cm$ and wall thickness $4 \, cm$, then the mass of the ice remaining after $10 \, hours$ is nearly. (Given: Outside temperature $= 50^{\circ}C$, Thermal conductivity of thermocol $K = 0.01 \, Js^{-1}m^{-1\circ}C^{-1}$, Latent heat of fusion of ice $L = 335 \times 10^3 \, Jkg^{-1}$) (in $ \, kg$)

Two rods,one made of copper and the other made of steel,of the same length and same cross-sectional area,are joined together. The thermal conductivities of copper and steel are $385 \, W \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ and $50 \, W \, m^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at $100^{\circ} \, C$ and $0^{\circ} \, C$ respectively. The temperature at the junction is nearly $.......^{\circ} \, C$.

Two concentric spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. The rate of radial heat flow between the two concentric spheres is proportional to:

$A$ 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 ends of two rods of different materials with their thermal conductivities,radii of cross-sections,and lengths all in the ratio $1:2$ are maintained at the same temperature difference. If the rate of flow of heat in the larger rod is $4 \; cal/sec$,the rate of flow of heat in the shorter rod in $cal/sec$ will be:
