As shown in the figure, AB is a rod of length 30 cm and area of cross section 1.0 cm2 and thermal conductivity 336 SI units. The ends A and B are maintained at temperatures 20degreeC and 40degreeC , respectively. A point C of this rod is connected to a box D, containing ice at 0degreeC , through a highly conducting wire of negligible heat capacity. The rate at which ice melts in the box is (assume latent heat of fusion for ice Lf= 80 cal/g)

Fourier’s law states that the negative gradient of temperature and the time rate of heat transfer is proportional to the... View Article
