Mud houses are cooler in summer and warmer in winter because
Mud is superconductor of heat
Mud is good conductor of heat
Mud is bad conductor of heat
None of these
On heating one end of a rod, the temperature of whole rod will be uniform when
The only possibility of heat flow in a thermos flask is through its cork which is $75 cm^2$ in area and $5 cm$ thick. Its thermal conductivity is $0.0075 cal/cmsec^oC$. The outside temperature is$ 40^oC$ and latent heat of ice is $80 cal g^{-1}$. Time taken by $500 g$ of ice at $0^oC$ in the flask to melt into water at $0^oC$ is ....... $hr$
Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii ${r}_{1}$ and ${r}_{2}$ $\left({r}_{1}<{r}_{2}\right)$ are placed with their centres coinciding. A material of thermal conductivity ${K}$ is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at temperature $\theta_{1}$ and the outer shell at temperature $\theta_{2}\left(\theta_{1}<\theta_{2}\right)$. The rate at which heat flows radially through the material is :-
When thermal conductivity is said to be constant ?
The length of the two rods made up of the same metal and having the same area of cross-section are $0.6 m$ and $0.8 m$ respectively. The temperature between the ends of first rod is ${90^o}C$ and ${60^o}C$ and that for the other rod is $150^oC$ and ${110^o}C$. For which rod the rate of conduction will be greater
