What kind of thermal condcutivity , specifie heat and coefficient of expansion requirements would you specify for cooking utensils?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The requirements for the cooking utensils are as follows: (i) they should have high conductivity so that they conduct heat through itself to the cooking material quickly.
(ii) They should have low specific heat so that they may attain the temperature of the source quickly.
(iii) They should have low coefficient of expansion so that utensils may not change their shapes during cooking.

The ends Q and R of two thin wires, PQ and RS, are soldered (joined) together. Initially each of the of wire has a length of 1m at 10^@C. Now the end P is maintained at 10^@C, while the ends S is heated and maintained at 400^@C. The system is thermally insultated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity of wire PQ is twice that of the wire RS and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of PQ is 1.2xx10^-5K^-1, the change in length of the wire PQ is
