In the figure shown,$AB$ is a rod of length $30 \ cm$,area of cross-section $1 \ cm^2$ and thermal conductivity $336 \ SI$ units. The ends $A$ and $B$ are at constant temperatures $20^{\circ} C$ and $40^{\circ} C$ respectively. $A$ point $C$ of the rod is connected to ice at $0^{\circ} C$ in a thermally insulated box $D$ through a highly conducting wire of negligible heat capacity. The rate at which ice melts in the box is $\left(L_{ice}=80 \ cal \ g^{-1}\right)$.

  • A
    $84 \ mg \ s^{-1}$
  • B
    $84 \ g \ s^{-1}$
  • C
    $20 \ mg \ s^{-1}$
  • D
    $40 \ mg \ s^{-1}$

The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$. The rate of heat transfer,$\frac{dQ}{dt}$,through the rod in a steady state is given by:

Two plates of equal area are placed in contact. Their thicknesses are $2$ and $3$ units respectively. The temperature of the outer surface of the first plate is $-25^{\circ}C$ and the temperature of the outer surface of the second plate is $25^{\circ}C$. Find the temperature of the contact surface if: $(a)$ they are made of the same material,$(b)$ their thermal conductivities are in the ratio $2:3$.
