Ice starts forming in lake with water at ${0^o}C$ and when the atmospheric temperature is $ – {10^o}C$. If the time taken for $1 \;cm$ of ice be $7$ hours, then the time taken for the thickness of ice to change from $1\; cm$ to $2\; cm$ is

The temperature gradient in a rod of $0.5 m$ long is ${80^o}C/m$. If the temperature of hotter end of the rod is ${30^o}C$, then the temperature of the cooler end is …… $^oC$

The heat is flowing through a rod of length $50 cm$ and area of cross-section $5c{m^2}$. Its ends are respectively at ${25^o}C$ and ${125^o}C$. The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material of the rod is $0.092 kcal/m×s×^\circ C$. The temperature gradient in the rod is

Three very large plates of same area are kept parallel and close to each other. They are considered as ideal black surfaces and have very high thermal conductivity. The first and third plates are maintained at temperatures $2T$ and $3T$ respectively. The temperature of the middle (i.e. second) plate under steady state condition is

$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity ${K_1}$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of material of thermal conductivity ${K_2}$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is
