Conduction

Question

Which of the following cylindrical rods will conduct most heat when their ends are maintained at steady temperatures θ1oC and θ2oC? The rods are made of same material.

Moderate
Solution

 

 Thermal resistance R=lπr2×K and thermal current  Ith=θR

Now lr2 is least when l=1m and r=2cm

Hence Ith is maximum for option (4)
