A water cooler of storage capacity 120 litres can cool water at constant rate of P W. In a closed circulation system (as shown schematically in the figure), the water from the cooler is used to cool an external device that generates constantly 3 kW of heat (thermal load). The temperature of water fed into the device can not exceed 30oC and the entire stored 120 litres of water is initially cooled to 10oC . The entire system is thermally insulated. The minimum value of P (in W) for which the device can be operated for 3 hours is:

An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

Two rectangular blocks, having identical dimensions, can be arranged either in configuration  I or in configuration II as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity K and the other 2 K . The temperature difference between the ends along the x-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes 9 s to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to cold end in the configuration I . The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration II is
