MCQ 7.16 The logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) of a counter flow
heat exchanger is 20c C . The cold fluid enters at 20c C and the hot fluid
enters at 100c C . Mass flow rate of the cold fluid is twice that of the hot
fluid. Specific heat at constant pressure of the hot fluid is twice that of the
cold fluid. The exit temperature of the cold fluid
(A) is 40c C (B) is 60c C
(C) is 80c C (D) cannot be determined

MCQ 7.17 For the three-dimensional object shown in the figure below, five faces are
insulated. The sixth face (PQRS), which is not insulated, interacts thermally
with the ambient, with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m2 K
. The ambient temperature is 30c C . Heat is uniformly generated inside the
object at the rate of 100 W/m3 . Assuming the face PQRS to be at uniform
temperature, its steady state temperature is

(A) 10c C (B) 20c C

(C) 30c C (D) 40c C

MCQ 7.18 A hollow enclosure is formed between two infinitely long concentric cylinders
of radii 1 m and 2 m, respectively. Radiative heat exchange takes place
between the inner surface of the larger cylinder (surface-2) and the outer
surface of the smaller cylinder (surface-1). The radiating surfaces are diffuse
and the medium in the enclosure is non-participating. The fraction of the
thermal radiation leaving the larger surface and striking itself is

MCQ 7.19 Steady two-dimensional heat conduction takes place in the body shown in
the figure below. The normal temperature gradients over surfaces P and
Q can be considered to be uniform. The temperature gradient 2T/2x at
surface Q is equal to 10 K/m. Surfaces P and Q are maintained at constant
temperature as shown in the figure, while the remaining part of the boundary
is insulated. The body has a constant thermal conductivity of 0.1 W/mK.
