A cylinder with a piston is filled with ideal gas. The gas temperature is held at 350 K. The cylinder is heated by an oven through a square metal rod connected between the oven and the cylinder. The rod has sides d = 2 cm and length L = 1.8 m.
a) If the oven is held at 600 K, and the heat current conducted through the metal rod is 28 W, find the thermal conductivity (k) of the metal in the rod ( ans in W/m K )
(b) For a larger cylinder at 350 K, a heat current of 50 W is needed. If we use the same metal rod to conduct heat, find the oven temperature in Kelvin that will maintain the necessary heat current.
