Three conducting rods $AB, BC$ and $BD$ made of the same material and same cross-section are arranged as shown in the figure. Temperatures at the points $A, D$ and $C$ are maintained at $20^{\circ} C, 90^{\circ} C$ and $0^{\circ} C$ respectively. The ratio of lengths of $BD$ to $BC$ when there is no heat flow in $AB$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{2}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{2}$

$A$ ring consisting of two parts $ADB$ and $ACB$ of same conductivity $k$ carries an amount of heat $H$. The $ADB$ part is now replaced with another metal keeping the temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ constant. The heat carried increases to $2H$. What should be the conductivity of the new $ADB$ part? Given $\frac{l_{ACB}}{l_{ADB}} = 3$.

$A$ window used to thermally insulate a room from outside consists of two parallel glass sheets each of area $2.6 \,m^2$ and thickness $1 \,cm$ separated by $5 \,cm$ thick stagnant air. In the steady state, the room-glass interface is at $18^{\circ} C$ and the glass-outdoor interface is at $-2^{\circ} C$. If the thermal conductivities of glass and air are respectively $0.8 \,Wm^{-1} K^{-1}$ and $0.08 \,Wm^{-1} K^{-1}$, the rate of flow of heat through the window is (in $\,W$)

The rate of flow of heat through a metal rod with a temperature difference of $40^{\circ} C$ is $1600 cal/s$. The thermal resistance of the metal rod in $^{\circ} C s/cal$ is
