Heat Conduction

A cylindrical rod has temperatures 'T1T_1 ' and 'T2T_2' at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is 'Q1Q_1 ' cal s−1\text{s}^{-1}. If length and radius of the rod are doubled keeping temperature constant, then the rate of flow of heat 'Q2Q_2' will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Q=Kπr2ΔTL⇒Q∝r2LQ = \frac{K\pi r^2\Delta T}{L} \Rightarrow Q \propto \frac{r^2}{L}
  2. Q2Q1=(2)22=2\frac{Q_2}{Q_1} = \frac{(2)^2}{2} = 2
  3. So the answer is (d) Q2=2Q1Q_2 = 2Q_1.
