Air is best heated with steam in a heat exchanger of
**Double pipe type with fin on air side **
Which of the following is generally considered as opaque surface towards radiations?
**Both b and c **
B. Solids
C. Liquids
Black liquor generated during paper manufacture is concentrated in a
**Multiple effect evaporator **
When vaporization takes place directly at the heating surface, it is called
**Nucleate boiling **
Steam consumption in kg/hr in case of an evaporator is given by
**C/E **
Reynold’s analogy states that
**Nst α f **
With increase in temperature, the thermal conductivity of non-metallic amorphous solids
**Increases **
Fourier’s law applies to the heat transfer by
Conduction
Shell side pressure drop in a shell and tube heat exchanger does not depend upon the
None of these
In the equation Q=UAdeltaT, delta T is
**Logarithmic mean temperature difference **
With increase in porosity, the thermal conductivity of a solid substance
**Decreases **
For an ideal black body,
** Absorptivity=1 **
In Joule’s experiment, an insulated container contains 20 kg of water initially at 25°C. It is stirred by an agitator, which is made to turn by a slowly falling body weighing 40 kg through a height of 4 m. The process is repeated 500 times. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms-2. Neglecting the heat capacity of agitator, the temperature of water (in °C) is
**34.4 **
Fouling factor
accounts for additional resistances to heat flow
In case of vertical tube evaporator, with increase in liquor level, the overall heat transfer coefficient
**decreases **
The steam ejector is used to
**create vacuum **
For shell and tube heat exchanger, with increasing heat transfer area, the purchased cost per unit heat transfer area
**passes through a maxima **
The thermal efficiency of a reversible heat engine operating between two given thermal reservoirs is 0.4. The device is used either as a refrigerator or as a heat pump between the same reservoirs. Then the coefficient of performance as a refrigerator (COP)R and the co-efficient of performance as a heat pump (COP)HP are
(COP)R= 1.5; (COP)HP= 2.5
Hot water (0.01 m3 /min) enters the tube side of a counter current shell and tube heat exchanger at 80°C and leaves at 50°C. Cold oil (0.05 m3/min) of density 800 kg/m3 and specific heat of 2 kJ/kg.K enters at 20°C. The log mean temperature difference in °C is approximately
**32 **
In a heat exchanger, floating head is provided to
**relieve stress caused by thermal expansion **
Leidenfrost point is a term concerned with the
**boiling of a liquid on a hot surface **
A process stream of dilute aqueous solution flowing at the rate of10 Kg.s-1 is to be heated. Steam condensate at 95°C is available for heating purpose, also at a rate of 10 Kg.s-1. A 1 - 1 shell and tube heat exchanger is available. The best arrangement is
**counter flow with process stream in shell side **
