$A$ 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:

Three conducting rods of the same material and cross-section are shown in the figure. The temperatures of $A$,$D$,and $C$ are maintained at $20^{\circ} C$,$90^{\circ} C$,and $0^{\circ} C$ respectively. If there is no heat flow in rod $AB$,the ratio of the lengths of $BD$ and $BC$ is:

Two spheres made of different materials have radii in the ratio $2:1$ and wall thicknesses in the ratio $1:4$. They are completely filled with ice. If the time taken to melt the ice completely in the larger sphere is $25 \ min$ and in the smaller sphere is $16 \ min$,then the ratio of the thermal conductivities of the materials of the larger and smaller spheres is ..........

Two metallic blocks $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ of the same cross-sectional area are connected to each other as shown in the figure. If the thermal conductivity of $M_{2}$ is $K$,then the thermal conductivity of $M_{1}$ will be $xK$. Find the value of $x$. [Assume steady-state heat conduction]

Four rods of the same material with different radii $r$ and length $l$ are used to connect two reservoirs of heat at different temperatures. Which one will conduct the most heat?

$A$ copper pipe of length $10 \,m$ carries steam at temperature $110^{\circ} C$. The outer surface of the pipe is maintained at a temperature $10^{\circ} C$. The inner and outer radii of the pipe are $2 \,cm$ and $4 \,cm$,respectively. The thermal conductivity of copper is $0.38 \,kW / m /^{\circ} C$. In the steady state,the rate at which heat flows radially outward through the pipe is closest to ............. $\,kW$.
