A cylinder closed at both ends is separated into two equal parts (45 cm each) by a piston impermeable to heat. Both the parts contain the same masses of gas at a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 1 atm. If now the gas in one of parts is heated such that the piston shifts by 5 cm, then the temperature and the pressure of the gas in this part after heating is

The figure show a cross-section of a double glass unit of a window on a vertical wall. A graph wall. A graph of the temperature at different points within the unit is show next to it. The temperature difference across the unit is 13 K . It has a crossp-sectional area of 1.3 m^(2) and the rate of heat flow through it is 65 W . Then the correct statement is (Glass has a thermal conductivity of 1 W m^(-1) K^(-1) )

Imagine a system, that can keep the room temperature within a narrow range between 20^@C to 25^@C . The system includes a heat engine operating with variable power P = 3KT, where K is a constant coefficient, depending upon the thermal insulation of the room, the area of the walls and the thickness of the walls. T is temperature of the room in temperature drops lower than 20^@C , the engine turns on, when the temperature increase over 25^@ C, the engine turns off, room looses energy at a rate of K(T - T_0), T_0 is the outdoor temperature. The heat capacity of the room is C. Given (T_0=10^@C, ln(3/2) =0.4 , ln(6/5)=0.18 , C/K =750 SI-unit) Suppose at t = 0, the engine turns off, after how much time interval, again, the engine will turn on

Two chunks of metal with heat capacities C_(1) and C_(2) , are interconnected by a rod length l and cross-sectional area S and fairly low heat conductivity K . The whole system is thermally insulated from the environment. At a moment t = 0 the temperature difference betwene the two chunks of metal equals (DeltaT)_(0) . Assuming the heat capacity of the rod to be negligible, find the temperature difference between the chucks as a function of time.

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures T_(1) = 300K and T_(2) = 100 K , as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are K_(1) and K_(2) respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is 200 K, then K_(1)//K_(2)= __________.
