$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_1$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of material of thermal conductivity $K_2$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is

  • A
    $K_1 + K_2$
  • B
    $\frac{K_1 K_2}{K_1 + K_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{K_1 + 3K_2}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{3K_1 + K_2}{4}$

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have thermal emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of the two bodies are the same. The two bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength ${\lambda _B}$ corresponding to maximum spectral radiancy in the radiation from $B$ is shifted from the wavelength corresponding to maximum spectral radiancy in the radiation from $A$ by $1.00\;\mu m$. If the temperature of $A$ is $5802\;K$,then:

Three discs $x, y$ and $z$ having radii $2 \ m, 2 \ m$ and $6 \ m$ respectively are coated on their outer surfaces. If the wavelengths corresponding to the maximum power radiated by them are $3 \ \mu m, 4 \ \mu m$ and $5 \ \mu m$ respectively,then which of the following is true regarding the power radiated $(P)$?

Statement $A$: Convection involves flow of matter within a fluid due to unequal temperatures of its parts.
Statement $B$: $A$ hot bar placed under a running tap water loses heat due to the effect of convection within water.
Statement $C$: Heat transfer always involves a temperature difference between two systems.

Differentiate clearly between thermal conduction,thermal convection,and thermal radiation.

Two rods (one semi-circular and other straight) of the same material and of the same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. The points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperatures.
