Asolid cylindrical bar conducts heat at a rate of 25 w from a hot to a cold reservoir under steady state conditions. if both the length and the diameter of this bar are doubled, the rate at which it will conduct heat between these reservoirs will be

Using the new cylinder the heat rate between the reservoirs would be 50 W

Explanation:

Conduction could be described by the Law of Fourierin the form: where is the rate of heat transferred  by conduction, is the thermal conductivity of the material, and are the temperatures of each heat deposit, is the cross area to the flow of heat, and is the distance that the flow of heat has to go.For the original cylinder the Fourier's law would be: , and if , then the expression would be: where is the diameter of the original cylinder, and is the length of the original cylinder.For the new cylinder, in the same fashion that for the first, Fourier's Law would be: ,where is the heat rate in the second case, and are the new diameter and length.But, and , substituting in the expression for : .Rearranging: .In the last declaration of  , it could be noted that the expressión inside the parenthesis is actually  , then:  .It should be noted, that the temperatures in the hot and cold reservoirs never change.
