1. discuss the following:
(a) Conduction
(b) Free Convection
(c) Forced convection
(d) Radiation. [16]
2. (a) discuss with a neat tagged sketch the single pass tubular condenser.
(b) Draw the temperature length curves for the condenser and discuss. [10+6]
3. Lubricating oil is flowing through a tube having 12.5 mm inside diameter. Oil enters
at 75 0C and leaves at 50 0C. Tube surface is maintained at 45 0C. The velocity of
oil through the tube is 2.4 m/s. compute the length of the tube needed for the
cooling operation. Properties of oil : Density = 860 kg/m3; thermal conductivity
= 0.14 w/ m 0K; Specific heat = 1780 J/kg 0K. presume that flow is fully developed
laminar. avg. Nusselt number is 3.66 [16]
4. (a) Determine the hydraulic radius for the subsequent cross parts
i. Circular tube of diameter D and
ii. Square tube of dimensions, SxS.
(b) A steam pipe 0.05m diameter and 2.5m long has been placed horizontally
and exposed to still air at 25 0C. If the pipe wall temperature is 295 0C,
determine the rate of heat loss. At the mean temperature of 160 0C, the
thermo physical properties of air are: Thermal conductivity is 0.036 w/m 0K;
Kinematic viscosity is 30.09 × 10-6m2/s; Pr = 0.682; For laminar flow over
horizontal cylinders within the range, 103 < (Gr Pr) < 109; Use Nu = 0.53
(Gr Pr)0.25. [16]
5. (a) Write a note on radiation in film boiling
(b) discuss drop wise and film condensation [16]
6. Cold water enters a counter flow heat exchanger at 10 0C at a rate of eight kg/s, where
it is heated by a hot water stream that enters the heat exchanger at 70 0C at a rate
of two kg/s. Assuming the specific heat of water to remain constant at Cp = 4.18
kJ/kg 0C, determine the maximum heat transfer rate and the outlet temperatures
of the cold and the hot water streams for this limiting case. [16]

7. 0.15 kg/s of a 10% caustic soda liquor is to be concentrated to 20% strength in a
single effect evaporator. The unit is a forced circulation kind in which the liquor
is pumped through the vertical tubes of the calendria. Tubes are of 35mm outside
diameter, 30 mm inside diameter and 1.5 m in length. Steam supplied for heating
is a saturated 1 having saturation temperature of 110 0C. Boiling point rise of
the solution is three 0C.The unit operates under vacuum at 13 kN/m2 (52 0C). The
overall heat transfer coefficient is 1750 W/m2 0K. Suggest a suitable thermal design
of the evaporator. [16]
8. A radiation shield that has the identical emissivity on both sides is placed ranging from two
large parallel plates, which are maintained at uniform temperatures of 6500K and
4000K and have emissivities of 0.6 and 0.9 respectively. Determine the emissivity
of the radiation shield if the radiation heat transfer ranging from the plates is to be
decreased to 15 % of that without the radiation shield. [16]
