An ice box made of styrofoam (thermal conductivity ) is used to keep liquids cool. Its total wall area including lid is and the thickness of the wall is . A bottle of water is placed in the box and filled with ice. If the temperature outside the box is , then the rate of flow of heat into the box is (in )


Important Questions on Heat Transfer

The figure shows a system of two concentric spheres of radii and which are kept at temperatures and respectively. The radial rate flow of heat in a substance between the two concentric spheres is directly proportional to which of the given options?


A composite block is made of slabs and of different thermal conductivities (given in terms of a constant ) and sizes (given in terms of length ) as shown in Fig. All slabs are of the same width. Heat flows only from left to right through the blocks. Then in steady state.




The graph, shown in the figure represents the variation of temperature of two bodies, and having the same surface area, with time due to emission of radiation. Find the correct relation between the emissivity and absorptive power of the two bodies.
