When the temperature difference between a body and its surroundings is \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\), it loses heat to the surroundings at a rate of \(40\) W. If the temperature difference increases to \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\), the rate of loss of heat is:
1. \(45\)
2. \(50\) W
3. \(60\)
4. \(80\) W

Two liquids flow through a heat exchanger and exchange heat energy.
The first liquid has a mass flow rate \(\left(\dfrac{dm}{dt}\right)=r_1,\) and its temperature rises by \(\Delta\theta_1.\) For the second liquid, the flow rate \(\left(\dfrac{dm}{dt}\right)=r_2,\) and the temperature fall is \(\Delta\theta_2.\) The ratio of their specific heat capacities is:
1. \(\dfrac{\Delta\theta_1}{\Delta\theta_2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{r_2\Delta\theta_2}{r_1\Delta\theta_1}\) 4. \(\dfrac{r_2\Delta\theta_1}{r_1\Delta\theta_2}\)

Ice (\(0^{\circ}\)C) is kept in an insulated reservoir with an opening that is covered at the top with a cloth. When a black cloth \((B)\) is placed at the top, the ice melts at \(2\) g/\(3\) min. When an ordinary cloth \((G)\) is placed, the rate of melting is \(2\) g /\(5\) min. The emissivity of \(G\) is: (assuming that \(B\) behaves as a blackbody)

1. increases by a factor of \(4\)
2. increases by a factor of \(2\)
3. remains unchanged
4. decreases by a factor of \(2\)
