A gas of certain mass filled in a closed cylinder at a pressure of 3.23 kPa has temperature 50 . The gas is now heated to double its temperature. The modified pressure is Pa.
A wire of length 10 cm and diameter 0.5 mm is used in a bulb. The temperature of the wire is 1727 and power radiated by the wire is 94.2 W. Its emissivity is x8 where x = . (Given = 6.0 10-8 W m-2 K-4, = 3.14 and assume that the emissivity of wire material is same at all wavelengths.)
Two cylindrical rods A and B made of different materials, are joined in a straight line. The ratios of lengths, radii and thermal conductivities of these rods are: LALB = 12, rArB = 2 and KAKB = 12. The free ends of rods A and B are maintained at 400 K, 200 K, respectively. The temperature of rods interface is K, when equilibrium is established.
