$A$ 'thermacole' icebox is a cheap and an efficient method for storing small quantities of cooked food in summer in particular. $A$ cubical icebox of side $30 \,cm$ has a thickness of $5.0 \,cm$. If $4.0 \,kg$ of ice is put in the box,estimate the amount of ice (in $kg$) remaining after $6 \,h$. The outside temperature is $45 \,^{\circ}C$,and the coefficient of thermal conductivity of thermacole is $0.01 \,J \,s^{-1} \,m^{-1} \,K^{-1}$. Heat of fusion of water $= 335 \times 10^{3} \,J \,kg^{-1}$.

$A$ cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat $Q$ in time $t$. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod,when placed in thermal contact with the two reservoirs in time $t$?

The rate of heat conduction through a cylindrical rod is $Q_1$. The temperatures at the ends of the rod are $T_1$ and $T_2$. If all the dimensions of the rod are doubled while keeping the temperatures the same,the new rate of heat conduction is $Q_2$. Then:

Three rods of the same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3k, 2k$ and $k$. They are arranged as shown,with their ends at $100\,^{\circ}C, 50\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$. The temperature of their junction is

Rate of flow of heat through a cylindrical rod is $H_1$. The temperatures at the ends of the rod are $T_1$ and $T_2$. If all the dimensions of the rod become double and the temperature difference remains the same, and if the rate of flow of heat becomes $H_2$, then $H_2 =$
