A thermos flask with evacuated space to reduce the heat losses havingsurfaces facing each other of emissivity 0.02. If contents of the flaskare at 380 K & the ambient temperature is 298 K. Compute the heatloss from the flask. If same effect is to be achieved by using insulatingmaterial of conductivity 0.04 w/m K. What would be the thicknessrequired

A 1,500 W portable heater is needed to replace the heat lost through a circular window (radius 25 cm) in the wall of a home. The window is made of a single pane of glass 0.30 cm thick. The thermal conductivity for the glass is 0.63 W/(m·K). The temperature inside the house is 20 oC. What is the temperature outside?

A cylinder is made up of two coaxial layers, one of radius R and the other of inner radius R and outer radius 2R. The inner and the outer portions are respectively made up of substances of thermal conductivities K and 2K respectively. If the effective thermal conductivity between the flat ends of the cylinder is xk/4 , then the value of x is ________
