A cylindrical rod with one end in a steam chamber and the other end in ice results in melting of 0.1 gm of ice per second.

Five rods of the same dimensions are arranged as shown in the figure. They have thermal conductivities ${\mathrm{K}}_1, {\mathrm{K}}_2, {\mathrm{K}}_3, {\mathrm{K}}_4$ and ${\mathrm{K}}_5$. When points A and B are maintained at different temperatures, no heat flows through the central rod if :

A solid copper sphere (density $\mathrm{\rho }$ and specific heat capacity c) of radius r at an initial temperature 200K is suspended inside a chamber whose walls are at almost 0K. The time required (in $\mathrm{\mu }$s) for the temperature of the sphere to drop to 100 K is

One end of a copper rod of uniform cross-section and of length 3.1 m is kept in contact with ice, and the other end with water at \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). At what point along its length should a temperature of \(200^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) be maintained so that in steady-state, the mass of ice melting be equal to that of the steam produced in the same interval time? (Assume that the whole system is insulated from the surroundings. Latent heat of fusion of ice and vaporisation of water are 80 cal/gm and 540 cal/gm respectively)
