4)  A steel pot has a bottom with a cross sectional area of .1m2 and has a thickness of 1cm. The pot is filled with boiling water and the bottom of the pot is held at 200 degrees Celsius. The thermal conductivity of steel is 14 J/s m Co. How much heat is being conducted through the pot in one minute

Q = 1.4x105 J

Q = 4.5x105 J

Q = 8.4x105 J

Q = 9.6x105 J


Explanation / Answer

1) radiation

2) convection

3) conduction

4) 1.4*105J
