Department of Mechanical Engineering First Internal Assessment Test Heat and Mass Transfer Year/Sem: II/IV Subject Code: ME-2251 MaxMarks:50 Time: 1.30 hrs PART-A (5 X 2 = 10) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. State Newtons Law of cooling? What is lumped heat capacity analysis? Write the poissons equation heat conduction? Define thermal boundary layer thickness? What are Heisler chart? PART-B

(b) Derive the general three dimensional heat conduction equation in Cartesian co-ordinates using an elemental volume for a stationary isotropic solid. (16)

2) (a) A stream pipe 160 mm ID and 170 mm ID is covered with two layers of insulation. The thickness of the insulations are 30 mm and 50 mm respectively. The thermal conductivity values are 2.10, 0.60 and 0.33 KJ/mhrC respectively. The temperature of the inner surface of the pipe is 300C and that of the outer surface is 50C. Determine the quantity of heat flux per meter length of steam pipe and the layer contact temperature. (8) Or 3) (b) A composite wall is formed of a 2.5 cm copper plate (k= 355 W/mK) a 3.2 mm layer of asbestos (k= 0.110 W/mK) and a layer of fibre plate (k= 0.0049 W/mK). The wall is subjected to an overall temperature difference of 560C(560C on the copper plate and 0C on fibre plate). Estimate the heat flux through this composite wall and the interface temperature between asbestos and fibre plate. (8)

1) (a) When a thermocouple is moved from one medium to another medium at a different temperature, sufficient time must be given to the thermocouple to come to thermal equilibrium with the new conditions before a reading is taken. Consider a 0.1 cm diameter copper thermocouple wire originally at 150C. Find the temperature response (i.e) an approximate plot of temperature Vs time for interval of 0, 20 and 40 seconds when the wire is suddenly immersed in (i) Water at 40C (h=80 W/m2K) (ii) Air at 40C (h=40 W/m2K) Or (16)

4) (a) Derive the heat conduction equation in cylindrical co-ordinates using an elemental volume for a stationary isotropic solid. (16) Or (b) A large iron plate of 10cm thickness and originally exposed to an environment at 0C where the convection co-efficient is 50 W/m 2K. Calculate the temperature at a depth of 4cm from one of the faces 100 seconds after the plate is exposed to the environment. How much energy has been lost per unit area of the plate during this time.
