According to the experiment of Ingen Hausz, the relation between the thermal conductivity $K$ of a metal rod and the length $l$ of the rod up to which the wax melts is:

The temperature difference between two sides of a metal plate,$3 \ cm$ thick,is $15^{\circ} C$. Heat is transmitted through the plate at the rate of $900 \ kcal$ per minute per $m^2$ at steady state. The thermal conductivity of the metal is:

An ice box used for keeping eatables cold has a total wall area of $1\;m^2$ and a wall thickness of $5.0\;cm$. The thermal conductivity of the ice box material is $K = 0.01\;J/(m\cdot s\cdot ^\circ C)$. It is filled with ice at $0^\circ C$ along with eatables on a day when the temperature is $30^\circ C$. The latent heat of fusion of ice is $334 \times 10^3\;J/kg$. The amount of ice melted in one day is ........ $g$ $(1\;day = 86,400\;s)$.

$A$ 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 ............. $\,kW$.

Two metal cubes $A$ and $B$ of the same size are arranged as shown in the figure. The ends of the combination are maintained at the indicated temperatures. The arrangement is thermally insulated. If the thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ are $300 \, W/m \, ^\circ C$ and $200 \, W/m \, ^\circ C$ respectively,find the temperature $t$ at the junction when the steady state is reached.

Two rods,one made of copper and the other of steel,having the same length and cross-sectional area,are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper is $385 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$ and that of steel is $50 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$. If the copper end is held at $100^{\circ} C$ and the steel end is held at $0^{\circ} C$,the junction temperature is ........... $^{\circ} C$ (Assuming no other heat losses).
