$1.56 \times 10^5 \ J$ of heat is conducted through a $2 \ m^2$ wall of $12 \ cm$ thickness in one hour. The temperature difference between the two sides of the wall is $20^{\circ} C$. The thermal conductivity of the material of the wall is (in $W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$):

Three rods made of the same material and having the same cross-sectional area but different lengths $10\, cm, 20\, cm$,and $30\, cm$ are joined as shown. The temperature of the junction is ......... $^oC$.

$A$ wall is made up of two layers $A$ and $B$. The thickness of the two layers is the same,but materials are different. The thermal conductivity of $A$ is double that of $B$. In thermal equilibrium,the temperature difference between the two ends is $36^{\circ}C$. Then the difference of temperature at the two surfaces of $A$ will be ....... $^{\circ}C$

Which of the following factors affect the thermal conductivity of a rod?

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T_1 = 300 \ K$ and $T_2 = 100 \ K$,as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 \ K$,then $K_1 / K_2 = \dots$

$A$ brass boiler has a base area of $0.15\; m^{2}$ and thickness $1.0\; cm$. It boils water at the rate of $6.0\; kg/min$ when placed on a gas stove. Estimate the temperature (in $^oC$) of the part of the flame in contact with the boiler. Thermal conductivity of brass $= 109\; J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$; Heat of vaporisation of water $= 2256 \times 10^{3}\; J kg^{-1}$.
