JEE Main & Advanced Physics Transmission of Heat Question Bank Topic Test - Transmission Of Heat

  • question_answer
    A rod of length I (laterally thermally insulated) of uniform cross-sectional area A consists of a material whose thermal conductivity varies with temperature as \[K=\frac{{{k}_{0}}}{a+bT},\] where,  \[{{k}_{0}},\] a and b are constants. \[{{T}_{1}}\] and \[{{T}_{2}}(<{{T}_{1}})\] are the temperature of two ends of rod. Then, rate of flow of heat across the rod is

    A) \[\frac{A{{k}_{0}}}{bl}\left[ \frac{a+b{{T}_{1}}}{a+b{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]

    B) \[\frac{A{{k}_{0}}}{bl}\left[ \frac{a+b{{T}_{2}}}{a+b{{T}_{1}}} \right]\]

    C) \[\frac{A{{k}_{0}}}{bl}\ln \left[ \frac{a+b{{T}_{1}}}{a+b{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]

    D) \[\frac{A{{k}_{0}}}{al}\ln \left[ \frac{a+b{{T}_{2}}}{a+b{{T}_{1}}} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Idea Rate of flow of heat is given by \[\frac{dQ}{dt}=-KA\frac{dT}{dx}\].
    As we know that, \[\frac{dQ}{dt}=-KA\frac{dT}{dx}\]
                \[\frac{dQ}{dt}=-\frac{{{k}_{0}}A}{a+bT}\frac{dT}{dx}\]
    On integrating both sides within the proper limits.
                \[\frac{dQ}{dt}\int_{0}^{l}{dx}=-{{k}_{0}}A\int_{{{T}_{1}}}^{{{T}_{2}}}{\frac{dT}{dx}}\]
    This gives \[\frac{dQ}{dt}=\frac{A{{k}_{0}}}{bl}\ln \left[ \frac{a+b{{T}_{1}}}{a+b{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]
    TEST Edge Question related to equivalent thermal conductivity of two or more rods in series and parallel at various temperature can be asked. In series equivalent conductivity is given by \[{{K}_{eq}}=\frac{{{K}_{1}}{{K}_{2}}({{L}_{1}}+{{L}_{2}})}{({{L}_{1}}{{K}_{1}}+{{L}_{2}}{{K}_{2}})}\]
    In parallel equivalent conductivity is given by \[{{K}_{eq}}=\left( \frac{{{K}_{1}}{{A}_{1}}+{{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}})}{{{A}_{1}}+{{A}_{2}}} \right)\]
