To show: The thickness of the ice sheet formed on the surface of a lake is proportional to the square root of the time if the heat is fusion of the water freezing on the underside of the ice sheet is conducted through the sheet.

(c)

To determine

To determine: The time taken to form an ice sheet of 25cm thick.

(d)

To determine

To determine: The time taken to form an ice sheet is 40m deep.

A pond in winter has a layer of ice 5cm thick. The temperature of the air above the ice is -10C and the temperature of the water directly below the ice is 0C. (i) Find out how much heat passes by conduction through a square meter of ice each second (thermal conductivity of ice = k_ice = 2.2 W/m C) (ii) How would the amount of heat transfer differ if the ice were 7.5 cm thick instead of 5 cm thick? (how many times as much or as less)
Radioactive decay of granite and other rocks in Earth's interior provides sufficient energy to keep the interior molten, to heat lava, and to provide warmth to natural hot springs. This is due to the average release of about 0.03 J per kilogram each year. Find an increase in temperature for a thermally insulated chunk of granite that takes about 12.6 million years to change temperature. (Assume that the specific heat capacity cc of granite is 800 J/kg-CoJ/kg•Co. Use the equation Q=cmATQ=cmAT.)
Consider a thin round plate at 350K with a radius of 18 cm is placed on a very large and very thick table of conductivity k = 1.6 W/mK. The plate has an emissivity of 0.6 and the temperature of the surrounding air and the table and the large room walls is 298 K. At this time, (a) How much heat (in W) is leaving via radiation? (b) How much heat (in W) is leaving via convection? (c) How much heat (in W) is leaving via conduction?
