A cubical thermocol box, full of ice has sides 50cm and thickness 4.0cm. If outside temperature is 40°c, find the amount of ice melted in five hours when the thermal conductivity of thermocol is 0.01J/ms°c and latent heat of fusion of ice is 335J/g

The quantity of heat transferred into the box through its one face can be obtained by equation :
Q = {tex}KA (T_h –T_c ) t\over d {/tex} =
where K is thermal conductivity of thermocol.
A is area of one face of cube.
{tex}T_h \ is \ outside \ temperature{/tex}
{tex}T_c \ is \ inside \ temperature{/tex}
t is time and d is thickness.
So
= {tex} 0.01 × 2500 × 10^{–4} × 40º × 5 × 60 × 60 \over 4 × 10^{–2 }{/tex} = 45000 J
Since the box has six faces, total heat passing into the box Q = 45000 × 6 J
The mass of ice melted m, can be obtained by dividing Q by L :
m = Q/L ={tex}45000 × 6 \over 335{/tex} = 805.97 g

The quantity of heat Q transferred into the box from its one face
Q = {tex}KA(T_h–T_c)t\over d{/tex}
where K is thermal conductivity of thermocol.
= {tex}0.01×2500×10^{–4}×40º×5×60×60\over 4×10^{–2}{/tex} = 45000 J
As the box has six faces, total heat passing into the box Q = 45000 × 6 J = 270000 J
The mass m of ice melted= {tex} Q\over L {/tex} = {tex}270000\over 335{/tex} = 805.97 g
