Heat Conduction Quiz

What is the temperature of the hot reservoir in the simple rod example?

• 100° C

• 50° C

• 150° C

• 200° C

Which factor does NOT affect the amount of heat transfer per unit time?

• Heat conductivity constant

• Cross-sectional area

• Color of the object

• Temperature difference

In the heat transfer equation, what does 'K' represent?

• Length of the path

• Heat conductivity constant

• Temperature difference

• Cross-sectional area

What is the temperature difference across the double-pane window?

• 15° C

• 10° C

• 20° C

• 5° C

Why is the heat transfer through a double-pane window relatively small?

• Because the window is sealed tightly

• Because air has low heat conductivity

• Due to the small temperature difference

• Because the glass is thick
