The process of heat transfer from one particle of the fluid to another by the actual movement of the fluid particles caused by some mechanical means, is known as Radiation Forced convection Free convection Conduction TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Thermal diffusivity of a substance is Inversely proportional to specific heat Directly proportional to the thermal conductivity Inversely proportional to density of substance All of these TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A designer chooses the values of fluid flow rates and specific heats in such a manner that the heat capacities of the two fluids are equal. A hot fluid enters the counter flow heat exchanger at 100°C and leaves at 60°C. A cold fluid enters the heat exchanger at 40°C. The mean temperature difference between the two fluids is 66.7°C 60°C 40°C 20°C TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A steam pipe is to be insulated by two insulating materials put over each other. For best results Better insulation should be put over pipe and better one over it Whether to put inferior OIL over pipe or the better one would depend on steam temperature Both may be put in any order Inferior insulation should be put over pipe and better one over it TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
