Question
The left end of a copper rod (length = 20 cm, area of cross section = 0.20 cm2) is maintained at 20°C and the right end is maintained at 80°C. Neglecting any loss of heat through radiation, find (a) the temperature at a point 11 cm from the left end and (b) the heat current through the rod. Thermal conductivity of copper = 385 W m−1°C−1.

Solution
Area of cross section, A = 0.2 cm2 = 0.2 × 10−4 m2
Thermal conductivity, k = 385 W m–1 °C–1
`"Rate of flow of heat" = "temperature diffrences"/ "Thermal resistance"`
`(DeltaQ)/(Deltat) = (KA (T_1 - T_2))/ l`
`(DeltaQ)/(Deltat) = ((80 - 20 )/ 0.2) xx 385xx0.2xx10^-4 `
= 2310 × 10-3
= 2.31 J/sec
Let te temperature of point C be T, which is at a distance of 11 cm from the left end.
Rate of flow of heat is given by
`(DeltaQ)/(Deltat) = (KA DeltaT)/l`
⇒ `(DeltaT)/l= ((DeltaQ)/(Deltat))xx1/(KA)`
`(T-20)/(11xx10^-2) = 2.31/(383xx0.2xx10^-4)`
⇒ T = 33 + 20
⇒ T = 53° c

A cylindrical rod of length 50 cm and cross sectional area 1 cm2 is fitted between a large ice chamber at 0°C and an evacuated chamber maintained at 27°C as shown in the figure. Only small portions of the rod are inside the chamber and the rest is thermally insulated from the surrounding. The cross section going into the evacuated chamber is blackened so that it completely absorbs any radiation falling on it. The temperature of the blackened end is 17°C when steady state is reached. Stefan constant σ = 6 × 10−8 W m−2 K−4. Find the thermal conductivity of the material of the rod.
