$A$ metal cooking pot has a base area of $0.2 \,m^2$ and a thickness of $2.0 \,cm$. It boils water at a rate of $3.0 \,kg/min$ when placed on a hot plate. What is the temperature of the part of the hot plate in contact with the pot (in $^{\circ} C$)? [Thermal conductivity of metal is $120 \,J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$,latent heat of vaporisation of water is $2 \times 10^6 \,J/kg$]

$A$ heat source at $T_1 = 10^3\, K$ is connected to another heat reservoir at $T_2 = 10^2\, K$ by a copper slab which is $1\, m$ thick. Given that the thermal conductivity of copper is $0.1\, W\, K^{-1}\, m^{-1}$,the energy flux through it in the steady state is ........... $W\, m^{-2}$.

The temperature difference between two sides of a metal plate,$3 \ cm$ thick,is $15^{\circ} C$. Heat is transmitted through the plate at the rate of $900 \ kcal$ per minute per $m^2$ at steady state. The thermal conductivity of the metal is:

Three rods of equal length and cross-sectional area with thermal conductivities $K, 2K$,and $3K$ are joined as shown in the figure. The temperatures of their outer ends are $110\ ^oC, 20\ ^oC$,and $0\ ^oC$ respectively. Find the temperature of the junction in $^oC$.

Two plates of the same area are placed in contact. Their thicknesses as well as their thermal conductivities are in the ratio $2:3$. The outer surface of one plate is maintained at $10^{\circ} C$ and that of the other at $0^{\circ} C$. The temperature at the common surface is (in $^{\circ} C$)
