Heat Conduction

Rate of flow of heat through a cylindrical rod is ' H1H_1 '. The temperature at the ends of the rod are ' T1T_1 ' and ' T2T_2 '. If all the dimensions of the rod become double and the temperature difference remains the same, the rate of flow of heat becomes ' H2H_2 '. Then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. H=KAΔTLH = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}, with A=πr2A = \pi r^2.
  2. Doubling all dimensions: A→4AA \to 4A, L→2LL \to 2L.
  3. H2=2H1H_2 = 2H_1, so the answer is (b).
