The thermal conductivity of a material in $CGS$ system is $0.4$. In steady state,the rate of flow of heat is $10 \ cal/sec-cm^2$. Then the thermal gradient will be ....... $^oC/cm$.

Two metal rods $1$ and $2$ of same lengths have same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ and cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$,respectively. If the rate of heat conduction in rod $1$ is four times that in rod $2$,then:

The temperature difference across two cylindrical rods $A$ and $B$ of the same material and same mass are $40^{\circ} C$ and $60^{\circ} C$ respectively. In steady state,if the rates of flow of heat through the rods $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3: 8$,the ratio of the lengths of the rods $A$ and $B$ is (in $: 3$)

How is thermal conduction represented for a given temperature difference for any material by the rate of heat conduction?

The lengths of two rods made of the same metal and having the same area of cross-section are $0.6 \ m$ and $0.8 \ m$ respectively. The temperatures at the ends of the first rod are $90^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$,and those for the second rod are $150^{\circ}C$ and $110^{\circ}C$. For which rod will the rate of heat conduction be greater?

$A$ deep rectangular pond of surface area $A$,containing water (density $=\rho$,specific heat capacity $=s$),is located in a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of $-26^{\circ}C$. The thickness of the frozen ice layer in this pond at a certain instant is $x$. Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as $K$ and its specific latent heat of fusion as $L$,the rate of increase of the thickness of the ice layer at this instant would be given by:
