Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K_{1}, K_{2},$ and $K_{3}$,respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod. One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the other at $0^{\circ} C$. If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod,the correct relationship between $K_{1}, K_{2}$ and $K_{3}$ is:

  • A
    $K_{1}: K_{3}=2: 3 ; K_{2}: K_{3}=2: 5$
  • B
    $K_{1}< K_{2}< K_{3}$
  • C
    $K_{1}: K_{2}=5: 2 ; K_{1}: K_{3}=3: 5$
  • D
    $K_{1}> K_{2}> K_{3}$

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:

$A$ heat flux of $4000 \, J/s$ passes through a rod of length $10 \, cm$ and cross-sectional area $100 \, cm^2$. The thermal conductivity of copper is $400 \, W/m^{\circ}C$. The ends of the rod must be maintained at a temperature difference of ....... $^{\circ}C$.

$A$ '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 $= 335 \times 10^{3} \,J \,kg^{-1}$.
