Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
temperature at the hotter end,
temperature at the cooler end,
length of rod through which the heat travels,
cross-sectional area of rod,
mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius,
time taken for the melting of ice,
thermal conductivity k=?
By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:
......................................(1)
where:
=rate of heat transfer
dT= temperature difference across the length dx
Now, we need the total heat transfer according to the condition:
we know the latent heat of fusion of ice,
Now the heat rate:
Now using eq,(1)
