IMPORTANT
There are two thin spheres A and B of the same material and same thickness. They behave like black bodies. The radius of A is double that of B and both have the same temperature T. When A and B are kept in a room of temperature T0 <T, the ratio of their rates of cooling is (assume negligible heat exchange between A and B)

In the figure shown AB is rod of length 30 cm and area of cross-section 1 cm2 and thermal conductivity of 336 S.I. units. The ends A and B are maintained at temperature 20°C and 40°C respectively. A point C of this rod is connected to a box D, containing ice at 0°C, through a highly conducting wire of negligible heat capacity. The rate at which ice melts in the box is x. The rate of heat flow through AC is y and the rate of heat flow through BC is z. Then,

A refrigerator is thermally equivalent to a box of cork board 90 mm thick and 6 m2 in inner surface area, the thermal conductivity runs 15% of the time while the door is closed. The inside wall of the door, when it is closed, is kept, on an average 22oC below the temperature of the outside wall. The rate at which heat is taken from the interior wall while the motor is running is

Three rods AB, BC and BD of same length l  and cross section A are arranged as shown. The end D is immersed in ice whose mass is 440 g and is at 0oC. The end C is maintained at 100oC. Heat is supplied at constant rate of 200 cal/s. Thermal conductivities of AB , BC and BD are K, 2K and K/2, respectively.
