Transmission Of Heat Question 82

Question: A cylindrical rod having temperature $ T _{1} $ and $ T _{2} $ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $ Q _{1} $ cal/sec. If all the linear dimensions are doubled keeping temperature constant then rate of flow of heat $ Q _{2} $ will be

[CBSE PMT 2001]

Options:

A) $ 4Q _{1} $

B) $ 2Q _{1} $

C) $ \frac{Q _{1}}{4} $

D) $ \frac{Q _{1}}{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Rate of heat flow $ ( \frac{Q}{t} )=\frac{k\pi r^{2}({\theta _{1}}-{\theta _{2}})}{L}\propto \frac{r^{2}}{L} $ \ $ \frac{Q _{1}}{Q _{2}}={{( \frac{r _{1}}{r _{2}} )}^{2}}( \frac{l _{2}}{l _{1}} )={{( \frac{1}{2} )}^{2}}\times ( \frac{2}{1} )=\frac{1}{2} $

Therefore $ Q _{2}=2Q _{1} $
