Question

A cylindrical rod of aluminium is of length $$20\,cms$$  and radius $$2\,cms.$$  The two ends are maintained at temperatures of $${0^ \circ }C$$  and $${50^ \circ }C$$  [the coefficient of thermal conductivity is $$\frac{{0.5\,cal}}{{cm \times \sec { \times ^ \circ }C}}$$   ]. Then the thermal resistance of the rod in $$\frac{{cal}}{{\sec { \times ^ \circ }C}}$$  is

A. 318
B. 31.8
C. 3.18
D. 0.318  
Answer :   0.318
Solution :
Thermal resistance $$R = \frac{l}{{KA}}$$
Where $$l = 20\,cm.\& A\left( {{\text{cylindrical rod}}} \right)$$
$$ = \pi {r^2} = 40\pi c{m^2}$$
So $$R = \frac{{20}}{{0.5 \times 40\pi }} = 0.318\frac{{cal}}{{\sec { \times ^ \circ }C}}$$
