SECTION B

1. Attempt any three of the following: 7×3=21

   1. A gas filled tube has 2mm inner diameter and 25cm long, the gas is heated by an electrical wire of diameter 50 microns located along the axis of the tube, the current and voltage drop across the heating element are 0.5A and 4V respectively. If the temperature of wire is 175°C and inside tube wall temperature is 150°C respectively. Find the thermal conductivity of the gas filling the tube.
   2. Derive the expression for temperature distribution and heat dissipation in a straight fin of rectangular profile when fin is of infinite length.
   3. Explain the physical mechanism of free convection with the help of example and neat sketch. Discuss the significance of various dimensionless numbers with respect to natural convection.

   1. Derive the 3-D steady state generalized heat conduction equation (without internal heat generation) in Cartesian coordinate system. Write the assumptions used.
   2. An exterior wall of a house may be approximated by a 0.1m layer of common brick (k = 0.7 W/m°C) followed by a 0.04m layer of gypsum plaster (k = 0.48 W/m°C). What thickness of loosely packed rock wool insulation (k = 0.065 W/m°C) should be added to reduce the heat loss (or gain) through the wall by 80 percent?

2. Attempt any one part of the following: 7×1=7

   1. A steel rod (k = 32 W/m°C), 12mm in diameter and 60mm long, with an insulated end, is to be used as spine. It is exposed to surroundings with a temperature of 60°C and a heat transfer coefficient of 55 W/m²C The temperature at the base of fin is 95°C. Determine:
      1. The fin efficiency
