A long iron rod initially at a temperature of 20°C has one end dipped in boiling water (100°C) at time, t = 0. The curved surface of the rod is insulated so that heat conduction is one dimensional in the axial direction. The temperature at a distance 100 mm from the dipped end becomes 40°C at time, t = 200 s. The same temperature is achieved at a distance of 200 mm from the dipped end at time

A. t = 283 s

B. t = 356 s

C. t = 400 s

D. t = 800 s

Answer: Option D

    from Fouriers No.
    t directly propertional to l^2
    t1 / t2 =(d1 / d2)^2
    t1 = 200 s
    d1 = 1 m
    d2 = 2 m
    t2 = t1 * (d2 / d1)^2
    t2 = 200 * 4 = 800 s
