Thermal conductivity of water in general with rise in temperature
A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remain constant
D. May increase or decrease depending on temperature
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Apart from liquid metals, water has the highest thermal conductivity of any liquid. For most liquids, the thermal conductivity (the rate at which energy is transferred down a temperature gradient) falls with increasing temperature but this occurs only above about 130°C in liquid waterThis Question Belongs to Mechanical Engineering >> Heat And Mass Transfer
