Problem

A straight copper rod of length

0.50\,\text{m}

and uniform cross-sectional area

2.0\,\text{cm}^2

has its two ends maintained at

100\,^{\circ}\mathrm C

and

20\,^{\circ}\mathrm C

respectively under steady conditions. For copper, take the thermal conductivity as

400\,\text{W m}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}

. a. Calculate the rate at which heat flows through the rod under these conditions. b. How much heat energy is conducted from the hot end to the cold end in

5\,\text{min}
