A slab of stone of area of and thickness is exposed on the lower surface to steam at . A block of ice at rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of slab is
(Given latent heat of fusion of ice )
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\delta Q}{\delta t} & =\frac{K A}{L}\left(T_1-T_2\right) \\
Q & =\frac{K A}{L}\left(T_1-T_2\right) t \\
Q & =m L_f \\
\frac{K A}{L}\left(T_1-T_2\right) t & =m L_f \\
K & =\frac{m L_f L}{A\left(T_1-T_2\right) t} \\
K & =\frac{4.8 \times 3.36 \times 10^5 \times 0.1}{0.36 \times 100 \times 3600}
\end{aligned}\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{4.8 \times 3.36}{0.36 \times 36} \\
& =1.24 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
\end{aligned}
