Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a $$Y$$ shaped structure. Area of cross - section of each rod $$ = 4c{m^2}.$$ End of copper rod is maintained at $${100^ \circ }C$$ where as ends of brass and steel are kept at $${0^ \circ }C$$. Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are $$46,$$ $$13$$ and $$12$$ $$cms$$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings excepts at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are $$0.92, 0.26$$ and $$0.12$$ $$CGS$$ units respectively. Rate of heat flow through copper rod is:

One mole of a diatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process $$ABC$$ as shown in figure. The process $$BC$$ is adiabatic. The temperatures at $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ are $$400$$ $$K$$, $$800$$ $$K$$ and $$600$$ $$K$$ respectively. Choose the correct statement :

Assume that a drop of liquid evaporates by decreases in its surface energy, so that its temperature remains unchanged. What should be the minimum radius of the drop for this to be possible ? The surface tension is $$T,$$ density of liquid is $$\rho $$ and $$L$$ is its latent heat of vaporization.

The above $$p$$-$$v$$ diagram represents the thermodynamic cycle of an engine, operating with an ideal monatomic gas. The amount of heat, extracted from the source in a single cycle is
