6. Compare the temperature profile for parallel flow and counter flow heat exchanger.
10. Give an example of transient mass transfer similar to heat transfer in semi infinite
body.
that there is a thin layer of air between the layers of refractory bricks and steel
plate. Thermal conductivities for the three layers are 1.52,45 and 0.138 W/m°C
respectively. Find the temperature of the outer surface of the steel plate.
(OR)
b) Determine the heat flow for (i) rectangular fins and (ii) triangular fin of
20 mm length and 3 mm base thickness. Thermal conductivity = 45 W/m K.
Convection coefficient = 100 W/m2K, base temperature = 120°C surrounding
fluid temperature = 35°C. Determine also the fin effectiveness.
12. a) Air at 27°C and atmosphere pressure flows over a flat with a velocity of
2 m/s. Estimate (a) the boundary layer thickness at a distance of 20 cm and
40 cm from the leading edge of the plate and (b) the mass flow that enters
the boundary layers between x = 20 cm and x = 40 cm . Take µ of air at 27°C
as 1.85×l 0–5kg/m.s. Assume unit depth in z-directions. If the plate is heated
over its entire length to a temperature of 60°C, calculate the heat transfer in
(c) the first 20 cm of the plate and (d) the first 40 cm of the plate. (e) Compute
the drag force exerted on the first 40 cm of the plate. Properties of air at 316.5 K
are γ = 17.36×10–6m2/s, k = 0.02749 W/m K, pr = 0.7 and Cp=1.006 kJ/kg K.
(OR)
b) Icebergs 1 km long by 0.8 km wide and 0.3 km thick at 0°C are proposed to be
towed to arid regions for obtaining supply of fresh water. If the average water
temperature is 10°C and if the iceberg is to travel at 1.2 km/hour, determine
the thickness of ice melted per hour. The latent heat of ice is 334 kJ/kg. Assume
that the iceberg is towed along the 1 km direction.
14. a) Determine the shape factor from the floor of a furnace of 1m × 2m × 1.5m size
to the side surfaces and to the roof.
(OR)
b) A furnace in the form of a cube of 2 m side has gas in it at 1500 K. The analysis
of gas is 16% CO2, 10% H20 and the rest are non radiating gases. Determine
the emissivity of the gas body. The total pressure is 1 atm.
