Two metal rods $1$ and $2$ of same lengths have same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ and cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$,respectively. If the rate of heat conduction in rod $1$ is four times that in rod $2$,then:

  • A
    $K_1 A_2 = 4 K_2 A_1$
  • B
    $K_1 A_1 = 4 K_2 A_2$
  • C
    $K_1 = 4 K_2$
  • D
    $K_1 A_1^2 = 4 K_2 A_2^2$

The temperature of the water of a pond is $0^{\circ} C$ while that of the surrounding atmosphere is $-20^{\circ} C$. If the density of ice is $\rho$, the coefficient of thermal conductivity is $k$, and the latent heat of melting is $L$, then the thickness $Z$ of the ice layer formed increases as a function of time $t$ as:

$A$ 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 ....... $^{\circ}C$.

Two walls of thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ and thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$ are in contact. In the steady state,if the temperatures at the outer surfaces are $T_1$ and $T_2$,the temperature at the common wall is

$A$ room is maintained at $20^{\circ}C$ by a heater of resistance $20 \ \Omega$ connected to $200 \ V$ mains. The temperature is uniform throughout the room and heat is transmitted through a glass window of area $1 \ m^2$ and thickness $0.2 \ cm$. What will be the temperature outside in $^{\circ}C$? Given that thermal conductivity $K = 0.2 \ J/(s \cdot m \cdot K)$ for glass and $J = 4.2 \ J/cal$.
