A) \[32{}^\circ \text{ }C\]
B) \[33{}^\circ \text{ }C\]
C) \[34{}^\circ \text{ }C\]
D) \[35{}^\circ \text{ }C\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Let \[{{T}_{N}}\] be the temperature at N. The rate of flow of heat from O towards N is \[\frac{{{Q}_{1}}}{t}=\frac{KA({{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{N}})}{L/2}\] The rate of flow of heat from P towards N \[\frac{{{Q}_{2}}}{t}=\frac{KA({{T}_{3}}-{{T}_{N}})}{L/2}\] The rate of flow of heat from N towards M is \[\frac{{{Q}_{3}}}{t}=\frac{KA({{T}_{N}}-{{T}_{1}})}{L}\] In the steady state, (the rate at which heat enter at \[\operatorname{N}=rate at which heat leavesN)\] i.e., \[\frac{{{Q}_{1}}}{t}+\frac{{{Q}_{2}}}{t}=\frac{{{Q}_{3}}}{t}\] \[\frac{2KA({{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{N}})}{L}+\frac{2KA({{T}_{3}}-{{T}_{N}})}{L}=\frac{KA({{T}_{N}}-{{T}_{1}})}{L}\] \[or\,\,\,2({{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{N}})\,\,+\,\,2({{T}_{3}}-{{T}_{N}})=({{T}_{N}}-{{T}_{1}})\] Which gives \[{{T}_{N}}=\frac{{{T}_{1}}+2{{T}_{2}}+2{{T}_{3}}}{5}\] \[=\,\,\,\frac{20+2\times 30+2\times 40}{5}=32{}^\circ \,C\]You need to login to perform this action.
