1.	The temperature drop through a two layer furnace wall is `900^@C`. Each layer is of equal area of cross section. Which of the following actions will result in lowering the temperature `theta` of the interface?A. By increasing the thermal conductivity of outer layerB. By increasing the thermal conductivity of inner layerC. By increasing thickness of outer layerD. By increasing thickness of inner layer
Answer» Correct Answer - A::D `H=`rate of heat flow `=(900)/((l_i)/(K_iA)+(l_0)/(K_0A))` Now `1000-theta=(Hl_i)/(K_iA)` or , `theta=1000[(900)/((l_i)/(K_iA)+(l_0)/(K_0A)](l_i)/(K_iA)` `=100-(900)/(1+(l_0)/(K_iA)(K)/(l_i))` Now, we can see that `theta` can be decreased by increasing thermal conductivity of outer layer `(K_0)` and thikcness of inner layer `(l_i)`

A sinker of weight `w_0` has an apparent weight `w_1` when weighed in a liquid at a temperature `t_1 and w_2` when weight in the same liquid at temperature `t_2`. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the material of sinker is `beta`. What is the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid.
Consider two rods of same length and different specific heats (`S_1` and `S_2`), conductivities `K_1` and `K_2` and area of cross section (`A_1` and `A_2`) and both having temperature `T_1` and `T_2` at their ends. If the rate of heat loss due to conduction is equal thenA. `K_1A_1=K_2A_2`B. `K_2A_1=K_1A_2`C. `(K_1A_1)/(S_1)=(K_2A_2)/(S_2)`D. `(K_2A_1)/(S_2)=(K_1A_2)/(S_1)`

A copper block of mass `60kg` is heated till its temperature is increased by `20^(@)C` Find the head supplied to the block specific head capacity of `= 0.09 cal g^(-1)^(@)C`
In an industrial process 10 kg of water per hour is to be heated from `20^@C` to `80^@C`. To do this steam at `150^@C` is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at `90^@C`. How many kilograms of steam is required per hour (specific heat of steam`=1 cal//g^@C`, Latent heat of vapourization`=540 cal//g`)?
Water at `0^@C` was heated until it started to boil and then until it all changed to steam. The time required to heat water from `0^@C` to `100^@C` is 5 min and the time to change boiling water to steam is 28 minutes. If the flame supplied heat at a constant rate, the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water (neglecting heat losses, container etc. is (in `J//g`). (specific heat of water s `=4.2 J//g` )A. 540B. 2268C. 2352D. 2356
