Q. 1 Which mode of heat transfer does not require presence of medium?
A. Conduction B. Convection
C. Radiation D. All three modes
Ans. Radiation Heat Transfer happens through electromagnetic waves. It does now require any
medium.
Q. 2 For viscous flow, hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layer thicknesses for flow
over a flat plate are dependent up on (choose the correct most option)
A. only Prandtl number B. Eckert and Prandtl numbers
C. only Eckert number D. Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers
Ans. Thermal boundary layer thickness is mostly dependent on the Prandlt number but it is also
dependent on the Eckert number, when viscous dissipation of the flow is significant.
Q. 3 Which law shows dependence of heat flux on 4th power of temperature

A. Fourier’s law B. Newton’s law of cooling
C. Stefan-Boltzmann law D. Kirchhoff’s law
Ans. As per Stefan-Boltzmann law radiative heat transfer from a blackbody is:
𝑄 = 𝜎𝐴𝑇
Q. 4 Rate of heat transfer from a hot copper block, when exposed to ambient at 25°C, is
estimated as 1000 W/m2. If the average temperature of the block is measured nearly
96° C, what is the the average heat transfer coefficient?
A. 14 W/m2-K B. 5 W/m2-K
C. 20 W/m2-K D. 30 W/m2-K
Ans. 𝑞 = ℎ(𝑇 − 𝑇 ) ⟹ ℎ = ( )

Q. 5 A thermocouple having emissivity 0.3 measures the temperature in a chamber with black
walls. Consider that air around a thermocouple is at 20 °C and heat transfer coefficient
between the thermocouple and air is 50 W/m2-K. If the temperature reading shows 22 °C
in steady state what is the actual temperature of the wall?
A. 200 °C B. 22 °C
C. 40.5 °C D. 67.6 °C
Ans. As the temperature reading shows 22 °C, that means thermocouple temperature is 22° C
Hence at steady state heat gained by the thermocouple should be equal to the convective heat
loss to the ambient air.

Q. 6 You have insulated a boiler chamber using concrete slab of 70 mm thickness. The
average temperature of boiler and ambient can be taken as 200° C and 20° C,
respectively. Calculate the outside temperature of the slab? Take thermal conductivity
of slab as 1 W/m-K and heat transfer coefficient as 12 W/m2-K.
