Transmission Of Heat Question 75

Question: The heat is flowing through a rod of length 50 cm and area of cross-section $ 5cm^{2} $ . Its ends are respectively at $ 25^{o}C $ and $ 125^{o}C $ . The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material of the rod is 0.092 kcal/m×s×oC. The temperature gradient in the rod is

[MP PET 2002]

Options:

A) $ 2^{o}C/cm $

B) $ 2^{o}C/m $

C) $ 20^{o}C/cm $

D) $ 20^{o}C/m $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Temperature gradient $ \frac{d\theta }{dx}=\frac{{{(125-25)}^{o}}C}{50\ cm}=2{}^\circ C/cm $
