Heat Transfer: Overview

In this topic, we will study the process of heat transfer from one system to another. It also explains the convection, conduction and radiation along with some thermal conductivities of some materials with the help of illustrations and graphs.

A steel drill making 180rpm is used to drill a hole in a block of steel. The mass of steel block and the drill is 180gm each. The entire mechanical work is used up in producing heat such that the rate of rise of temperature of the system is 0.5°C/sec. If τ is the couple required to drive the drill then, find its value in SI units.
(Csteel=0.10cal/gm°C,J=4.186)

Specific heat of a substance varies with absolute temperature as s =B T2 J/kgK where
B=3Jkg-K3 The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 3 kg substance from 0 K to 10 K can be written as λ×10n J. Find the value of λ, where λ and n are integers.

A cube of iron (density =8000 kg/m3, siron=470 J/kgK) is heated to a high temperature and is placed on a large block of ice at 0oC. The cube melts the ice below it, displaces the water and sinks. In the final equilibrium position, its upper surface just goes inside the ice. If the initial temperature of block is 10λ then find the value of λdice=900 kg/m3, Lf=3.34×105 J/kg.
