10-2.Transmission of Heat
normal
Two ends of roads of length $L$ and radius $r$ of the same material are kept at the same temperature which of the following rod conducts most heat?
A
$L = 50 \,cm;\,\, r = 1\, cm$
B
$L = 100\,cm;\,\, r = 2\, cm$
C
$L = 25 \,cm;\,\,r = 0.5\, cm$
D
$L = 75\, cm;\,\, r = 1.5\, cm$
Solution
Heat flow rate $(\mathrm{Q})=\frac{\mathrm{KA} \Delta \mathrm{T}}{\Delta \mathrm{x}}$
$\mathrm{Q} \propto \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\Delta \mathrm{x}} \alpha \frac{\pi \mathrm{r}^{2}}{\mathrm{L}}$
For maximum, by checking $\left(Q \propto \frac{r^{2}}{L}\right)$ for all
options, we can conclude : $\mathrm{L}=100 \mathrm{cm}: \mathrm{r}=2 \mathrm{cm}$
gives maximum value.
