Transmission Of Heat Question 249

Question: Rate of cooling at 600K, if surrounding temperature is 300K is R. The rate of cooling at 900K is

[DPMT 2002]

Options:

A) $ \frac{16}{3}R $

B) $ 2R $

C) $ 3R $

D) $ \frac{2}{3}R $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Rate of cooling $ \propto (T^{4}-T _{0}^{4}) $

Therefore $ \frac{R _{1}}{R _{2}}=\frac{(T _{1}^{4}-T _{0}^{4})}{(T _{2}^{4}-T _{0}^{4})} $

Therefore $ \frac{R}{R _{2}}=\frac{{{(600)}^{4}}-{{(300)}^{4}}}{{{(900)}^{4}}-{{(300)}^{4}}} $ or $ R _{2}=\frac{16}{3}R $
