Which of the following graphs shows the variation of thermoelectric power of a thermocouple with the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions?

$A$ refrigerator converts $500\,g$ of water at $25\,^{\circ}C$ into ice at $-10\,^{\circ}C$ in $3\,hours\,40\,minutes$. The quantity of heat removed per minute is ........ $cal/\min$.
(Specific heat of water $= 1\,cal/g\,^{\circ}C$,Specific heat of ice $= 0.5\,cal/g\,^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of fusion $= 80\,cal/g$)

The $e.m.f.$ in a thermoelectric circuit with one junction at $0\,^\circ C$ and the other at $t\,^\circ C$ is given by $E = At - Bt^2$. The neutral temperature is then

$A$ thermocouple produces $40 \, \mu V/K$. The temperatures of the cold and hot junctions are $40 \, ^\circ C$ and $20 \, ^\circ C$ respectively. If $150$ such thermocouples are connected in series,what is the total thermo-emf produced in $mV$?

Explain why:
$(a)$ Two bodies at different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$,if brought in thermal contact,do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature $(T_1 + T_2) / 2$.
$(b)$ The coolant in a chemical or a nuclear plant (i.e.,the liquid used to prevent the different parts of a plant from getting too hot) should have high specific heat.
$(c)$ Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving.
$(d)$ The climate of a harbour town is more temperate than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude.

What is the main difference between the $P-T$ phase diagram of water and $CO_2$?
