A Least at the inlet of the first effect
B Least at the outlet of the last effect
C Highest at the inlet of the last effect
D Highest at the outlet of the last effect
Correct Answer: Least at the outlet of the last effect

Convective heat transfer, in which heat is transferred by movement of warmed matter is described by___________________?
A Fourier’s law
B Newton’s law of cooling
C Fick’s law
D None of these
Correct Answer: Newton’s law of cooling
If h1 = inner film co-efficient and /h2 = outer film co-efficient, then the overall heat transfer co-efficient is________________?
A Always less than h1
B Always between h1 and h2
C Always higher than h2
D Dependent on metal resistance
Correct Answer: Always between h1 and h2
In an extended surface heat exchanger, fluid having lower co-efficient________________?
A Flows through the tube
B Flows outside the tubes
C Can flow either inside or outside the tubes
D Should not be used as it gives very high pressure drop
Correct Answer: Flows outside the tubes
The critical radius ‘r’ of insulation on a pipe is given by____________________?
A r = 2k/h
B r = k/h
C r = k/2h
D r = h/k
Correct Answer: r = k/h
In an interphase heat transfer process, the equilibrium state corresponds to equality of temperature in the two phases, while the condition for equilibrium in an interphase mass transfer process is equality of___________________?
A Concentrations
B Chemical potentials
C Activity co-efficients
D Mass transfer co-efficients
Correct Answer: Concentrations
A 10 cm dia steam pipe, carrying steam at 180°C, is covered with an insulation (conductivity = 0.6 W/m.°C). It losses heat to the surroundings at 30°C. Assume a heat transfer co-efficient of 0.8 W/m2.°C for heat transfer from surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. If the insulation thickness is 2 cms, the rate of heat loss from this insulated pipe will be__________________?
A Greater than that for un-insulated steam pipe
B Less than that of the un-insulated steam pipe
C Equal to that of the un-insulated steam pipe
D Less than the steam pipe with 5 cms insulation
Correct Answer: Less than that of the un-insulated steam pipe
Sensible heat of hot industrial flue gases cannot be recovered by a/an________________?
A Economiser
B Regenerator
C Ceramic recuperator
D None of these
Correct Answer: None of these
In case of a vertical tube evaporator, with increase in the liquor level, the ____________ is increased?
A Velocity of circulation
B Liquor-film co-efficient
C Both A. and B.
D Neither A. and B.
Correct Answer: Neither A. and B.
