The two ends of a rod of length L and a uniform crosssectional area A are kept at two temperatures T₁ and T ₂ ( ~T ₁> T ₂ ) . The rate of heat transfer, dQ dt through the rod in a steady state is given by:
Options
- Ak (T₁-T₂ ) L A
- Bk L A (T₁-T₂ )
- Ck A (T₁-T₂ ) L
- Dk L (T₁-T₂ ) A
Correct answer
C. k A (T₁-T₂ ) L
Step-by-step solution
dQ dt = kA ( T ₁- T ₂ ) L [ ( T ₁- T ₂ ) . is the temperature difference ]
