Heat and Thermodynamics 2 Question 3

6. The ends Q and R of two thin wires, PQ and RS, are soldered (joined) together. Initially, each of the wire has a length of 1m10C. Now, the end P is maintained at 10C, while the end S is heated and maintained at 400C. The system is thermally insulated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity of wire PQ is twice that of the wire RS and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of PQ is 1.2×105K 1, the change in length of the wire PQ is

(a) 0.78mm

(b) 0.90mm

(c) 1.56mm

(d) 2.34mm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. (a)

Solution:

Rate of heat flow from P to Q

dQdt=2KA(T10)1

Rate of heat flow from Q to S

dQdt=KA(4000T)1

At steady state rate of heat flow is same

2KA(T10)1=KA(400T)

or 2T20=400T or 3T=420

T=140

Temperature of junction is 140C

Temperature at a distance x from end P

is Tx=(130x+10)

Change in length dx is suppose dy

Then, dy=αdx(Tx10)

0Δydy=01αdx(130x+1010)Δy=[αx22×130]01Δy=1.2×105×65Δy=78.0×105m=0.78mm
