A pot with a steel bottom 1.2 cm thick, rests on a hot stove. The area of the bottom of the pot is 0.150 m2. The water inside the pot is at 100°C and 0.440 kg are evaporated every 5.0 min. Find the temperature of the lower surface of the pot which is in contact with the stove. Take Lv=2.256×106 J kg-1 and ksteel=50.2 W m-1 K-1.

A carpenter builds an outer house wall with a layer of wood 2.0 cm thick on the outside and a layer of an insulation 3.5 cm thick as the inside wall surface. The wood has K=0.08 W m-1 K-1 and the insulation has K=0.01 W m-1 K-1. The interior surface temperature is 19 °C and the exterior surface temperature is -10 °C.
(a) What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the insulation?
(b) What is the rate of heat flow per square metre through this wall?

A closed thermally insulated vessel contains 100 g of water at 0°C. If air from this vessel is rapidly pumped out, intensive evaporation will produce cooling and as a result of this, water freezes. How much ice will be formed by this method, if latent heat of fusion is 80 cal g-1 and of evaporation 560 cal g-1?

A certain amount of ice is supplied heat at a constant rate for 7 min. For the first 1 min, the temperature rises uniformly with time. Then, it remains constant for the next 4 min, and again the temperature rises at uniform rate for the last 2 min. Calculate the final temperature at the end of 7 min. (Given: L of ice =336×103 J kg-1 and specific heat of water =4200 J kg-1 K-1)

Four identical rods AB, CD, CF and DE are joined, as shown in the figure. The length, cross-sectional area and thermal conductivity of each rod are l, A and K, respectively. The ends A, E and F are maintained at temperatures T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Assuming no loss of heat to the atmosphere, find the temperature at B, the mid-point of CD.
