Q.1 (a) Distinguish between the conduction, convection and radiation modes of heat transfer. | 03 |
(b) A furnace wall is made up of steel plate 10 mm thick (k= 62.8 kJ/m-hr-deg) lined on inside with silica bricks 150 mm thick (k=7.32 kJ/m-hr-deg) and on the outside with magnesia bricks 200 mm thick (k= 18.84 kJ/m-hr-deg). The inside and outside surfaces of the wall are at temperature 650 °C and 125 °C respectively. Make calculations for the heat loss from unit area of the wall. | 04 |
(c) Derive equation for heat transfer by conduction through hollow cylinder. Also mention assumptions made for it. | 07 |
Q.2 (a) Discuss the physical significance of (i) Reynolds Number (ii) Prandtl number. | 03 |
(b) Set up the relationship between local heat transfer coefficient and average heat transfer coefficient for flow past a stationary flat plate. | 04 |
(c) Calculate the rate of heat loss from a human body which may be considered as a vertical cylinder 30 cm in diameter and 175 cm high in still air at 15 °C. The skin temperature is 35 °C and emissivity at the skin surface is 0.4. Neglect sweating and effect of clothing. The thermo-physical properties of air at 25 °C are: ?=15.53 x 10-6 m2/s; k= 0.0263 W/m-deg; Pr=0.7 Use the following correlation Nu =0.13(Gr x Pr)0.33 | 07 |
