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 and if the rate of flow of heat becomes 'H2H_2 ' then H2=H_2 =

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  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=42H1=2H1H_2 = \frac{4}{2}H_1 = 2H_1, so the answer is (c).
