There are two spherical balls and of the same material with same surface, but the diameter of is half that of . If and are heated to the same temperature and then allowed to cool. then


Important Questions on Transmission of Heat

In the figure shown is rod of length and area of cross-section and thermal conductivity of S.I. units. The ends and are maintained at temperature and respectively. A point of this rod is connected to a box , containing ice at , through a highly conducting wire of negligible heat capacity. The rate at which ice melts in the box is . The rate of heat flow through is and the rate of heat flow through is z. Then,
[Assume latent heat of fusion for ice ]




The top of insulated cylindrical container is covered by a disc having emissivity and thickness . The temperature is maintained by circulating oil as shown in figure. If temperature of upper surface of disc is and temperature of surrounding is , then the radiation lost to the surroundings will be (Take )
