Correct answer: (C) second law of the thermodynamics
32. In convection heat transfer from hot flue gases to water tube, even though flow may be turbulent, a laminar flow region (boundary layer of film) exists close to the tube. The heat transfer through this film takes place by
convection
radiation
conduction
both convection and conduction
none of the above.
Correct answer: (C) conduction
33. In counter flow heat exchangers
both the fluids at inlet (of heat exchanger where hot fluid enters) are in their coldest state
both the fluids at inlet are in their hottest state
both the fluids .at exit are in their hottest state
one fluid is in hottest state and other in coldest state at inlet
any combination is possible depending on design of heat exchanger.
Correct answer: (B) both the fluids at inlet are in their hottest state
34. In free con-vection heat transfer, Nusselt number is function of
Grashoff no. and Reynold no.
Grashoff no. and Prandtl no.
Prandtl no. and Reynold no.
Grashoff no., Prandtl no. and Reynold no.
none of the above.
Correct answer: (B) Grashoff no. and Prandtl no.
35. In heat exchangers, degree of approach is defined as the difference between temperatures of
cold water inlet and outlet
hot medium inlet and outlet
hot medium outlet and cold water inlet
hot medium outlet and cold water outlet
none of the above.
Correct answer: (D) hot medium outlet and cold water outlet
36. In heat transfer, conductance equals conductivity (kcal/hr/sqm/°C/cm) divided by
hr (time)
sqm (area)
°C (temperature)
cm (thickness)
kcal (heat).
Correct answer: (D) cm (thickness)
37. In regenerator type heat exchanger, heat transfer takes place by
direct mixing of hot and cold fluids
a complete separation between hot and cold fluids
flow of hot and cold fluids alternately over a surface
generation of heat again and again
indirect transfer.
Correct answer: (C) flow of hot and cold fluids alternately over a surface
