Thermal Properties of Matter - Result Question 23

23. A slab of stone of area 0.36m2 and thickness 0.1m is exposed on the lower surface to steam at 100C. A block of ice at 0C rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour 4.8kg of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of slab is :

(Given latent heat of fusion of ice =3.36× 105Jkg1.) :

[2012M]

(a) 1.24J/m/s/C

(b) 1.29J/m/s/C

(c) 2.05J/m/s/C

(d) 1.02J/m/s/C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 23. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) According to condition,

100C (steam) 

Rate of heat given by steam = Rate of heat taken by ice where K= Thermal conductivity of the slab m= Mass of the ice L= Latent heat of melting/fusion A= Area of the slab

dQdt=KA(1000)1=mdLdt

K×100×0.360.1=4.8×3.36×10560×60

K=1.24J/m/s/C

In electrical conduction

I=dqdt=V1V2R=σA(V1V2)

In thermal conduction,

H=dθdt=θ1θ2R=kA(θ1θ2)

K= Thermal conductivity of conductor. 25 .
