Max. Marks: 60
Answer any five questions
All questions carry equal marks
--1. a)
b)

What is critical thickness of insulation and derive the same for cylinder and sphere?
A steel tube of length 20 cm with internal and external diameters of 10 and 12 cm is
quenched from 5000C to 300C in a large reservoir of water at 100C. Below 1000C the
heat transfer coefficient is 1.5 kW/m2K. Above 1000C it is less owing to a film of
vapour being producing at the surface, and an effective mean value between 5000C
and 1000C is 0.5 kW/mK. The density of steel is 7800 kg/m3 and the specific heat is
0.47 kJ/kg K. Neglecting the internal thermal resistance of the steel tube, determine
the quenching time.

2. a)

Explain the importance of Heisier charts in solving the transient heat conduction
problems.
A slab of Aluminum 10 cm thick is originally at a temperature of 5000C. It is
suddenly immersed in a liquid at 10000 C resulting it a heat transfer coefficient of
1200 W/m2k. Determine the temperature at the centerline and the surface 1 min after
the immersion. Also the total thermal energy removal per unit area slab during this
period. The properties of aluminum for the given condition are: = 8.4 105m2 /s,
K=215 W/mK, = 2700 kg/m3, Cp= 0.9 kJ/kg.

surrounding still air at 20oC when the plate is maintained at 100oC. Use the following
relation NuL = 0.15(GrLPrL)n (Pr/Prs)0.25, Where all fluid properties except Prs (Pr at
surface) are taken at the ambient temperature.

convection on a vertical plate?
