CH – 221 Heat Transfer
Duration: 90 Minutes Max. Marks: 30
Note
 Attempt all questions and make suitable assumption if required
 Wherever necessary, draw simple and neat diagram.
1. Explain the following terms (2 x 5 = 10 Marks)
a) Heat Transfer Coefficient
b) Difference between Biot and Nusselt Number
c) Thermal Contact Resistance
d) Critical Insulation Thickness
e) How to identify free, forces and mixed convection using dimensionless number.
2. Mention five important differences between film and dropwise condensation and draw a diagram
to explain your understanding. (5 Marks)
3. Explain the phenomena of Heat transfer in flow across a cross cylinder with proper diagram
wherever required to justify your answer. (5 Marks)
4. Consider a 0.8m high and 1.5 m wide glass windows with a thickness of 8mm and a thermal
conductivity of k = 0.78 W/m.K. Determine the steady rate of heat transfer through this glass
windows and the temperature of its inner surface for a day during which the room is maintained at
20oC while the temperature of the outdoors is -10oC. Take the heat transfer coefficients of the inner
and outer surfaces of the windows to be h1 = 10 W/m2K and h2 = 40 W/m2K, which includes the
effects of radiation. (10 marks)
