Give definition, unit and dimensional formula of thermal conductivity.
Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A= 0^oC$ and $T_B = 100^oC$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time, the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :
The coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is nine times that of steel. In the composite cylindrical bar shown in the figure. What will be the temperature at the junction of copper and steel ....... $^oC$
Consider a compound slab consisting of two different materials having equal thickness and thermal conductivities $ K$ and $2K$ respectively. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab is
One end of a copper rod of uniform cross-section and of length $3.1$ m is kept in contact with ice and the other end with water at $100°C $ . At what point along it's length should a temperature of $200°C$ be maintained so that in steady state, the mass of ice melting be equal to that of the steam produced in the same interval of time. Assume that the whole system is insulated from the surroundings. Latent heat of fusion of ice and vaporisation of water are $80 cal/gm$ and $540$ cal/gm respectively
When thermal conductivity is said to be constant ?
