A cylindrical rod having temperature T_(1) and T_(2) at its end. The rate of flow of heat is Q_(1)("Cal")/(s) If all linear dimensions are doubled keeping temperature constant, then the rate of flow of heat Q_(2) in ("Cal")/(s) will be . . . . . . . .

A solid body of constant heat capacity 1J//^@C is being heated by keeping it contact with reservoirs in two ways: (i) Sequentially keeping in contact with 2 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat. (ii) Sequentially keeping in contact with 8 reservoir such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat. In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature 100^(@)C to final temperature 200^(@)C . Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :

Explain why (a) Two bodies at different temperatures T_(1) and T_(2) if brought in thermal contact do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature (T_(1) + T_(2))//2 . (b) The coolant in a chemical or a nuclear plant (i.e., the liquid used to prevent the different parts of a plant from getting too hot) should have high specific heat. (c) Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving. (d) The climate of a harbour town is more temperate than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude.
