Following figure shows two adiabatic vessels, each containing a mass m of water at different temperatures. The ends of a metal rod of length L, area of cross section A and thermal conductivity K, are inserted in the water as shown in the figure. Find the time taken for the difference between the temperatures in the vessels to become half of the original value. The specific heat capacity of water is s. Neglect the heat capacity of the rod and the container and any loss of heat to the atmosphere.

उत्तर
Rate of transfer of heat from the rod is given as
`(DeltaQ)/(Deltat) = (KA(T_1 - T_2))/l`
In time t, the temperature difference becomes half.
In time Δt, the heat transfer from the rod will be given by
`DeltaQ = (KA(T_1 - T_2))/l Deltat`............(i)
Heat loss by water at temperature T1 is equal to the heat gain by water at temperatureT2.
Therefore, heat loss by water at temperature T1 in time `Deltat` is given by
`DeltaQ=ms(T_1 - T_1) ............(ii)`
From equation (i) and (ii),
ms `( T_1 - T_1' ) = (KA(T_1 - T_2))/l Delta t`
`⇒ T_1' = T_1 - (KA(T_1 - T_2))/(l(ms) Delta t`
This gives us the fall in the temperature of water at temperature T1.
Similarly, rise in temperature of water at temperature T2 is given by
`T_2'= T_2 +( KA(T_1 - T_2))/(l(ms) )Delta t`
Change in the temperature is given by
`(T_1' - T_2' ) = ( T_1 - T_2)- 2 (KA(T_1 - T_2))/(l(ms)) Deltat`
`⇒ (T_1 - T_2) - ( T_1' - T_2') = 2 (KA(T_1 - T_2))/(l(ms)) Deltat`
`⇒ (DeltaT)/(Deltat) = 2 (KA(T_1 - T_2))/(l(ms)`
Here, `(DeltaT)/(Deltat)` is the rate of change of temperature difference.
Taking limit Δ t→ 0,
`⇒ (dT)/dt = 2 (KA (T_1 - T_2))/ (l(ms))`
`rArr (dT)/(T_1 - T_2 )= 2(KA)/(l(ms)dt`
On integrating within proper limit, we get
\[\int_{(T_1 - T_2)}^{(T_1 - T_2)/2}\] `(dT)/((T_1 - T_2)) = 2 (KA)/(l(ms))` \[\int\limits_0^t dt\]
`⇒ In [((T_1- T_2))/(2(T_1 - t_2)]] = 2 = (KA)/(l(ms))t `
`⇒In [ 2] = 2(KA)/(l(ms))t`
`⇒ t = In [2] (lms)/(2KA)`

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?
