    The key takeaways are that the document discusses methods to determine thermal conductivity using concepts like heat flow rate, temperature differences, and material properties. Several sample problems are also provided applying these concepts.

    Glycerine is placed in the holes holding the thermometers to ensure good thermal contact between the thermometers and the rod, allowing for accurate temperature measurements.

    Given the rod's dimensions, rate of ice melting, and properties of ice like specific latent heat of fusion, the rate of heat flow can be calculated from the energy required to melt the ice. Then using the heat flow rate, temperature difference and rod properties in Fourier's Law, the thermal conductivity can be determined.

    Worksheet

    Question 1

    A long and thick specimen, which is lagged, is used in the determination of the thermal conductivity of a
    good conductor. Explain for the special features of the specimen.

    Question 2

    In an experiment to determine the thermal conductivity of a conductor, the rate of heat flow per unit area
    along an insulated rod is 40 kW m-2. Two thermometers which are spaced 10 cm apart along the rod
    indicate 30 oC and 40 oC.
    (a) A little glycerine is placed in the holes holding the thermometers. Explain why.
    (b) Calculate the thermal conductivity of the rod.

    Question 3

    Insulation

    Ice-cubes

    Conductor

    Steam out

    Water

    The above apparatus is used to determine the thermal conductivity of a rod of length 40.0 cm and radius
    2.00 cm. Ice in the apparatus melts at a rate of 10 g per minute. Calculate
    (a) the rate of heat flow in the rod.
    (b) the thermal conductivity of the rod.

    (The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 3.33 × 105 J kg-1.)


    Question 4

    Insulation

    100oC A B 0oC

    The above figure shows two rods A and B of the same length and cross-sectional area joined in series.
    The rod A is made of copper whose thermal conductivity is 380 W m-1K-1. If at steady state, the
    temperature at the junction is 68 oC, what is the thermal conductivity of the rod B?

    Question 5

    A rod 50 cm long, 4 cm in radius is uniformly coated with another material of thickness 1.0 cm and
    thermal conductivity twice the value of that of the rod. The specimen is then lagged and placed across
    two heat reservoirs maintained at 100 oC and 70 oC. If the rate of heat flow through the coated rod is
    0.15 W, determine the thermal conductivity of the rod.

    Question 6

    What are the features of the poor conductor used in Lees’ experiment to determine the thermal
    conductivity of a poor conductor?

    Question 7

    Ice is forming on top of a lake. When the thickness of the ice is 5.0 cm thick, the temperature of the ice
    in contact with the water is 273 K and the temperature above the ice is 258 K. The rate of heat loss
    through the ice is 690 W m-2 . Calculate the thermal conductivity of ice.

    Question 8

    In a Lees’ apparatus, a glass plate of thickness 3 mm and thermal conductivity 0.75 W m-1 K-1 was
    sandwiched between two brass discs of circular cross-section area 0.05 m2. The temperatures of the
    brass discs are100 oC and 60 oC respectively. Calculate the rate at which heat is lost from the lower
    brass disc.
    Question 9

    Brick wall

    Indoor temperature Outdoor temperature


    22 oC 32 oC

    Glass window

    The figure shows a glass window with the following dimensions

    Length : 2.5 m
    Breadth :1.5 m
    Thickness :0.6 cm

    The air-conditioner unit in the room is working at a power of 5 kW to maintain the indoor temperature
    constant at 22 oC. Assuming that heat is being only conducted through the glass window, find the
    thermal conductivity of the glass window.

    Question 10

    A thin glass disc of radius 5.0 cm and uniform thickness 2.5 mm is sandwiched between two copper
    blocks, which are in good thermal contact with the disc. The temperature of the upper copper block A is
    100 oC and the lower block B is at 70 oC. Heat is conducted through the glass disc and then lost to the
    surrounding from its lower copper block .The lower copper block B has a mass of 0.75 kg. The disc is
    then removed and the lower block B heated to a temperature above 80 oC. The upper face of B was
    lagged and block B is then allowed to cool. The temperature of block as it cools was recorded. The
    temperature dropped at a rate of 21 K min-1 when B was at 70 oC. Calculate the thermal conductivity of
    glass. (Specific heat capacity of copper = 400 J kg-1 K-1)
