One end of an insulated metal rod is maintained at 100 ∘C and the other end is maintained at 0.00 ∘C by an ice–water mixture. The rod has a length of 70.0 cm and a cross-sectional area of 1.10 cm2 . The heat conducted by the rod melts a mass of 8.70 g of ice in a time of 15.0 min .
find the thermal conductivity k of the metal?
k=............ W/(m.K)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]k=105.0359\times 10^4\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

temperature at the hotter end, [tex]T_H=100^{\circ}C[/tex]

temperature at the cooler end, [tex]T_C=0^{\circ}C[/tex]

length of rod through which the heat travels, [tex]dx=0.7\,m[/tex]

cross-sectional area of rod, [tex]A=1.1\times 10^{-4}\,cm^2[/tex]

mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius, [tex]m=8.7\times 10^{-3}\,kg[/tex]

time taken for the melting of ice, [tex]t=15\times60=900\,s[/tex]

thermal conductivity k=?

By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:

[tex]\dot{Q}=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}[/tex]......................................(1)

where:

[tex]\dot{Q}[/tex]=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,  [tex]L = 334000\,J.kg^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]Q=m.L[/tex]

[tex]Q=8.7\times 10^{-3}\times 334000[/tex]

[tex]Q=2905.8\,J[/tex]

Now the heat rate:

[tex]\dot{Q}=\frac{Q}{t} [/tex]

[tex]\dot{Q}=\frac{2905.8}{900} [/tex]

[tex]\dot{Q}=3.2287\,W[/tex]

Now using eq,(1)

[tex]3.2287=k\times 1.1\times 10^{-4} \times \frac{100}{0.7}[/tex]

[tex]k=205.4606\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}[/tex]

The thermal conductivity k of the metal is 68.93 W/mK.

Heat conducted by the ice

The quantity of heat conducted by the ice is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔθ

Q = 8.7 x 4.184 x 100

Q = 3640 J

Heat heat flow rate

P = E/t = Q/t = 3640/(15 x 60) = 4.04 J/s = 4.04 W

Thermal conductivity

The thermal conductivity of the wire is calculated as follows;

P = kAΔT/x

Px = kAΔT

k = Px/AΔT

  • ΔT = 100 - 0 = 100 C = 373 k
  • A = 1.1 cm² = 1.1 x 10⁻⁴ m²
  • x = 70 cm = 0.7 m

k = (4.04 x 0.7) / (373 x 1.1 x 10⁻⁴)

k = 68.93 W/mK
