Transmission Of Heat Question 39

Question: In variable state, the rate of flow of heat is controlled by

Options:

A) Density of material

B) Specific heat

C) Thermal conductivity

D) All the above factors

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

In variable state $ \frac{Q}{t}\propto K $ and $ \frac{Q}{t}\propto \frac{1}{\rho ,c} $

Therefore $ \frac{Q}{t}\propto \frac{K}{\rho ,c} $ (K = thermal conductivity, r = density, c = specific heat)
