On a winter day when the atmospheric temperature drops to −10°C, ice forms on the surface of a lake. (a) Calculate the rate of increase of thickness of the ice when 10 cm of the ice is already formed. (b) Calculate the total time taken in forming 10 cm of ice. Assume that the temperature of the entire water reaches 0°C before the ice starts forming. Density of water = 1000 kg m−3, latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.36 × 105 J kg−1and thermal conductivity of ice = 1.7 W m−1°C−1. Neglect the expansion of water of freezing.

उत्तर
Thermal conductivity, K = 1.7 W/m°C
Density of water, ρω = 102 kg/m3
Latent heat of fusion of ice, Lice = 3.36 × 105 J/kg
Length, l = 10 × 10−2 m
(a) Rate of flow of heat is given by
`(DeltaQ)/(Deltat) = (( T_1 - T_2).KA)/l`
`l/Deltat = ((T_1 - T_2).KA)/(DeltaQ)`
`=(K.A (T_1 - T_2))/(m.l)`
`= (K.A(T_1- T_2))/( Al.pw.l)`
`= ((1.7)(0-10))/((10xx10^-2)xx10xx3.36xx10^5)`
`= 17/3.36 xx 10^-7`
`=5.059 xx 10^-7` m/s
= 5 × 10-7 m/s
(b) To form a thin ice layer of thickness dx, let the required be dt.
Mass of that thin layer, dm = A dx ρω
Heat absorbed by that thin layer, dQ = Ldm
`"dQ"/"dt"= (K.A (DeltaT))/ x`
`"ldm"/"dt" = (KA(DeltaT))/x`
`((Adxpw)L)/dt = (KA DeltaT)/x`
\[\int\limits_0^t\] `dt = (rho_wL)/(K(DeltaT)` \[\int\limits_0 ^{0.1}\] `x dx`
`⇒ t = (rho_wL)/ K(DeltaT) xx (0.1)^2/2`
`t =( 10^3xx3.36xx10^5xx0.01)/(1.7xx10xx2)`
`t = (3.36)/(2xx17) xx 10^6 sec`
`t=3.36/(2xx17)xx10^6 sec`
`t=3.36/(2xx17) xx 10^6/3600 hours`
`t = 27.45 hours`

We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say 10 cm. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remain constant. If αiron = 1.2 × 10−5/K and αbrass = 1.8 × 10−5/K, what should we take as length of each strip?
