Q.1. (a) (ii) Solution:

The requirement that all the radiant energy striking any surface be accounted for is prescribed by
the relationship:
α+ρ+τ = 1
Apparently the largest fraction of incident radiation that can be absorbed is unity (as ρ = τ = 0).
From Kirchoff’s law, the emissivity equals the absorptivity under the equilibrium condition, that is
∈ = α.
These conditions clearly indicate that emissivity of any surface can’t be greater than unity.

the value of Q (the heat loss).

Heat dissipation from an infinitely long fin is prescribed by the relation :

There is no heat loss from the tip of an infinitely long fin and such it behaves as if the tip were
insulated. Therefore, an estimate of the validity of this approximation can be made by comparing
the following two expressions for the fin.
Qfin = kAcm(T0 – Ta) for initially long fin
Qfin = kAcm(T0 – Ta) tanh ml for insulated tip
There expressions provide equivalent results if tanh ml ≥ 0.99 or ml ≥ 2.65. Hence, the rod can be

Q.1. (d) (i) Solution:

The system, in which the temperature is uniform throughout, is defined as a lumped heat-capacity
system. This happens when the internal conductive resistance of the system is much smaller than
the convective resistance of the fluid film at the surface. This is characterized by a low value of Biot
number Bi (hLc/k). The lumped heat-capacity system analysis is applicable when Bi < 0.1.
Biot number is the ratio of internal conductive resistance to external convective resistance of surface
of body.

Bi = =
k External convective resistance
h = Average heat transfer coefficient

Lc = characteristic length (volume/surface area)
k = thermal conductivity of solid body
Q.1. (d) (ii) Solution:

Free convection: Circulation of bulk fluid motion is caused by changes in fluid density resulting
from temperature gradient between the solid surface and the main mass of fluid. The stagnant
layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of the hot body gets thermal energy by conduction. The
energy thus transferred serves to increase the temperature and internal energy of fluid particles.
Because of temperature rise, these particles become less dense and hence lighter than the surrounding
www.madeeasy.in
.madeeasy.in
fluid particles. The lighter fluid particles move upwards to a region of low temperature where they
mix with and transfer a part of their energy to the cold particles. Simultaneously the cool heavier
particles descend downwards to fill the space vacated by the warm fluid particles. This circulation
pattern, i.e. upward movement of the warm fluid and downward movement of cool fluid, is called
convection currents. These currents are setup naturally due to gravity alone and are responsible for
heat convection.
Application areas: (i) Design of furnace
(ii) House heating projects
(iii) Architectural projects.
(iv) Roads and concrete structures
In the orbiting satellites, there are no density forces as there is absence of gravitational field. Thus,
there would be NO free convection in space vehicles with zero gravity.

Q.3. (a) Solution:

Fouling and fouling factor: In heat exchangers with most of the liquids and gases, a deposit is
formed on the heat transfer surface. This deposit may be rust, boiler scale, coke or any other thing.
The effect of fouling is to increase the thermal resistance. The thickness of the fouling depends
upon many variables like type of fluid, its properties, etc. and also depends on the time factor. The
factor which is introduced to include the effect of fouling is known as fouling factor F. Fouling
factors are determined experimentally by testing the exchanger in both the clean and dirty
conditions. Typical values of F range from 0.00009 for clean vapors to 0.0002 for hot river water or
hot sea water.
1 1
F = −
Uf U
where U = overall heat transfer coefficient of clean heat exchanges

Uf = overall heat transfer coefficient after fouling has occurred
F = fouling factor
Demerits of fouling: The demerits of fouling are listed below:
• A bigger-sized heat exchanger is required. Hence the initial investment is more.
• The thermal resistance increases and the thermal efficiency of the exchanger reduces,
resulting in energy loss.
• Regular cleaning and maintenance are required which increase the maintenance cost and
reduces the availability of the equipment for production.
Types of fouling:
• Scaling or precipitation fouling. Scaling is formed on the heat transfer surface due to the
dissolved impurities in the fluid.
www.madeeasy.in
.madeeasy.in
• Particulate fouling: Finally divided suspended particles present in the fluid are
accumulated on the heat transfer surface.
• Chemical reaction fouling: This is due to the deposit formation on the heat transfer surface
by chemical reaction.
• Corrosion fouling: This is due to the formation of corrosion products on the heat transfer
surface.
• Biological fouling: This is due to the formation of biological material on the surface of the
heat exchanger.
• Solidification fouling: This is due to the formation of crystals on the heat transfer surface
from a pure liquid or one compound from the liquid phase.

Q.3. (c) Solution:

The answer lies in the geometry. When it comes to shell and tube heat exchanger a tube bundle is
placed inside a shell, where one fluid flows through the tube bundle while the other runs over tube
bundle within the shell. The shell has baffle plates that redirect the fluid cross to the tube bundle.
These heat exchangers are mainly used for high pressure applications due to their robust geometry.
Double pipe heat exchangers consist of concentric shells. One tube enclosing other, both containing

different fluids. So they can only be used as parallel or counter flow heat exchangers.

Emissivity of the sphere surface, ∈ = 0.3
The following assumptions have been made in the estimation of emissivity:
(i) The walls are held at low temperature. This implies that the sphere emits, but does not
receive radiant energy.
(ii) The enclosure is completely evacuated, and the vacuum procludes any heat transfer by
convection.
(iii) Steady state conditions prevail, i.e. there is no storage of energy.

Q.5. (a) (i) Solution:

As pressure angle is the angle made by the direction of motion of follower and the normal to the
pitch curve at any point (or in other words the measure of steepness of the cam profile), its
significance can be stated as:
• Higher value of pressure angle increases the horizontal force acting on the follower (as higher
www.madeeasy.in
.madeeasy.in
is the side thrust). This could jam the translating follower in its guide ways.
• Lower value of pressure angle increases the weight of cam and it becomes bulky, thus increasing
the inertial force.
Following are the consideration of pressure angle from performance point of view:
(i) Usually the pressure angle should be as small as possible within the limits of design and
(ii) The pressure angle can be reduced by increasing the cam size or by adjusting the offset.
Q.5. (a) (ii) Solution:

1. Trace point: It is a point on the follower, and it is used to generate the pitch curve. Its motion
describing the movement of the follower. For a knife-edge follower, the trace point is at knife-
edge. For a roller follower the trace point is at the roller center, and for a flat-face follower, it
is at the point of contact between the follower and the cam surface when the contact is along
the base circle of the cam. It should be not that the trace point is not necessarily the point of
contact for all other positions of the cam.
2. Pitch point: The point corresponds to the point of maximum pressure angle is called pitch
point, and a circle drawn with its centre at the cam centre, to pass through the pitch point, is
known as the pitch circle.
3. Prime circle: The prime circle is the smallest circle that can be drawn so as to be tangential to
the pitch curve, with its centre at the cam centre. For a roller follower, the radius of the prime
circle will be equal to the radius of the base circle plus that of the roller where as for knife-edge
follower the prime circle will coincides with the base circle.

vt 1 = 2 gh = 2 × 9.81 × 2 = 6.261 m/s

 0 − 6.261 
va 2 = vt 2 + 2.5044 ...(iii)
Solving equation (ii) and (iii), we get
va 2 = 1.4609 m/s, vt 2 = – 1.0435 m/s
Thus the initial conditions of the anvil are given by

Path of recess = rA2 − ( r cos φ ) − r sin φ

512 − ( 45 cos 20° ) − 45sin 20° = 13.12 mm

Length of arc of contact 30.32

Number of pairs of teeth in contact = Pc = = 1.61 say 2

Because contact ratio is 1.61 it means that 61% of time there are two pairs of teeth in contact and
during remaining time there is only one pair of teeth is in contact.
Angular speed of pinion, ω1 = 12.56 rad/s

Because path of approach is larger than path of recess. So maximum sliding velocity will come from
path of approach.

The effect of the reaction couple when the bow is rising, is to turn the ship towards right or
towards starboard.
(iii) ωp = 0.1 rad/s
C = 225.3 × 188.5 × 0.1 = 4246.5 Nm
As the axis of spin is always parallel to the axis of precession for all positions, there is no gyroscopic

Q.7. (c) (i) Solution:

A spur gear has straight teeth, so the contact occurs on the whole face of teeth, making a line
contact. The meshing is sudden and hence an impact load acts. Due to this impact load meshing
occurs with a buzz sound and due to this very reason itself, a spur gear can not be operated under
high load and high speed condition. Hence, it is the impact loading because of line contact in spur
gears which makes noise. There is sudden impact due to mating of teeth in short interval of time.
Q.7. (c) (ii) Solution:

• Helical gears have a helix angle while in spur gears there is no helix angle.
• Helical gears are used for high speed transmission since they produce less noise as compared
to spur gears.
www.madeeasy.in
.madeeasy.in
• Helical gears have high life as compared to spur gears as in spur gear there is sudden thrust
due to mating of teeth in short interval of time while in helical gears there is no such sudden
mating of single teeth as teeth mate over a period of time.
• For mating spur gears only module of gears must be same while in helical gears their helix
angle must also be same.
• Helix gears produce radial as well as axial thrust force due to helix while in spur gear only
radial force is present and no axial forces are acting. So, stronger bearing must be used with
helix gears. But to overcome this there are herringbone gears and double helix gears also.
