This document discusses key concepts related to heat transfer and thermal conductivity. It provides explanations and examples of different modes of heat transfer including conduction, convection and radiation. Several examples are given to illustrate concepts like thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficients, and factors that affect heat transfer like density, temperature difference and material properties. Reynolds number and its role in convection heat transfer is also explained.

1. C, modes, conduction, convection and radiation.
2. A, Heat energy flows due to temperature difference.
3. B, Explanation: Q = (T2 – T1) A h = 0.12 (65-30) 45.4 = 190.68 W. 4. D, Explanation: Unit of heat transfer is Joule but rate of heat transfer is joule per second i.e. watt. 5. A, Explanation: It is denoted by h and is dependent on space, time, geometry, orientation of solid surface. 6. C, Explanation: It is directly proportional to all of above except time. 7. B, Explanation: Forced, natural and mixed convection. 8. D, Explanation: Thermal conductivity of diamond is 2300 W/m K. 9. A, Explanation: As, q = Q/A = 5.67 * 10-8 (273+60)4 = 697.2. 10. B, Explanation: In forced convection the flow of fluid is caused by a pump, fan or by atmospheric winds. 11. D, Explanation: Thermal conductivity of a material is because of migration of free electrons and lattice vibrational waves. 12. A, Explanation: For air it is .024 W/ m degree i.e. lowest. 13. C, Explanation: For ice it is 2.25 W/m degree i.e. maximum. 14. B, Explanation: For water it is 0.55-0.7 W/m degree and for air it is .024 W/m degree. 15. D, Explanation: Glass wool has lowest thermal conductivity of 0.03 W/m degree amongst given option. 16. B, Explanation: For good conductors there must be electrons that are free to move. 17. A, Explanation: If there is elastic collision then after sometime molecules regain its natural position. 18. C, Explanation: It is because air has lowest value of thermal conductivity amongst given options. 19. D, Explanation: Cork has thermal conductivity in the range of 0.05-0.10 which is very low so it can be porous. 20. B, Explanation: Thermal conductivity increase with increase in density of substance. 21. B, Explanation: It is given by h l/k. 22. B, Explanation: Reynolds number is indicative of the relative importance of inertial and viscous effects in a fluid motion. 23. D, Explanation: Reynolds number constitutes an important criterion of kinematic and dynamic similarity in forced convection heat transfer. 24. C 25. B 26. B, Explanation: The purpose of fins is to increase the area. Fins are used where air cooled condensers are used.
