Thermal Properties of Matter - Result Question 24

24. A cylindrical metallic rod in therrnal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat Q in time t. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod, when placed in thermal contact with the two reservoirs in time t ?

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 24. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) The rate of heat flow is given by

Qt=K.AΔT

Area of Original rodA=πR2;

Area of new rodA=πR24

A=A4

Volume of original rod will be equal to the volume of new rod.

So, A=A

or,

πR2=π(R2)2

=R2(R24)=4

QQ=AA=1414=116

Q=Q16

(a) E=SS0σT4=4πr24πR2σT4

=σr2R2T4
