(c) Write the most general equation in Cartesian co-ordinates for heat
07
transfer by conduction. Deduce above equation for the following
cases with suitable assumptions;
(i) Laplace equation, (ii) Poisson equation, and (iii) Fourier
equation.

03
glasses are preferred. Justify.
(b) Differentiate between:
04
1) Nusselt number and Reynolds number.
2) Free convection and forced convection.
(c) A cylinder in vertical position is having dimension of 18 cm
07
diameter and length 1.5 m is maintained at a temperature of 1000C.
It is kept in atmosphere having temperature 200C. Calculate the
heat lost by cylinder surface to the atmosphere by free convection.
Properties of air at mean film temperature 600C are as follows :
=1.06kg/m3,
=18.97*10-6m2/s,
k=0.1042kJ/m.hr.0C,
Cp=1.004kJ/kg0C. Use the relation Nu=0.10(Gr.Pr)1/3 (The symbols
have their usual meanings)
Q.4 (a) `It is desirable to use two thin fins instead of one thick fin for
03
engine cooling'. Give reason.
(b) Write the general differential equation in Cartesian co-ordinates for
04
3-D unsteady heat conduction by considering an infinitesimal
volume element. Deduce there from the conduction equations for
the following cases;
(i) Steady state 1-D flow with heat generation at uniform rate
within material, (ii) Unsteady 2-D flow without heat generation.
(c) Consider two large parallel plates, one at 1000K with emissivity 0.8
07
and other is at 300K having emissivity 0.6. A radiation shield is
1
placed between them. The shield has emissivity as 0.1 on the side
facing hot plate and 0.3 on the side facing cold plate.
Calculate percentage reduction in radiation heat transfer as a result
of radiation shield.
Q.5 (a) Give applications of heat exchangers.
03
(b) What is insulation? State its four applications in engineering field.
04
(c) What is condensation? Explain film-wise condensation and drop-
07
wise condensation.
Q.6 (a) It is desirable to wear white clothes instead of black during the
03
summer season. Give reason.
(b) Give eight examples related to heat transfer from the routine life.
04
(c) Derive the equation of LMTD for counter-flow heat exchangers.
07
Q.7 (a) `Radiator of automobiles is always painted black'. Give reason.
03
(b) Define shape factor. Discuss salient features of shape factor.
04
(c) An egg with mean diameter of 4 cm and initially at 200C is placed
07
in a boiling water pan for 4 minutes and found to be boiled to the
consumer's test. For how long should a similar egg for same
consumer be boiled when taken from a refrigerator at 50C. Take
following properties for egg :
k =10W/m0C, =1200kg /m3, C =2kJ/kg0C, h =100W/m2 0C
Q.8 (a) During the summer season, vegetable vendors are sprinkling water
03
to keep the vegetable fresh. Evaluate in light of heat transfer.
(b) Draw temperature variation for condenser and evaporator of
04
thermal power plant.
(c) Using dimensional analysis, obtain a general form of equation for
07
forced convective heat transfer.
