A schedule number 40 standard steel pipe (outer diameter 4.5 in. and wall thickness 0.237 in.) carrying steam is lagged (insulated) with two layers. First layer (near the steel pipe) having 50mm thickness is made of 85% magnesia and second layer having 60 mm thickness is made of cork. The inner surface temperature of the steel pipe is maintained at 150°C and the outer surface temperature of the cork is maintained at 35°C. Determine the individual thermal resistance of each layer and the rate of heat loss per meter length of the pipe. Consider only the conduction heat transfer. Make suitable assumptions if necessary?

A light fuel oil is used in the tube side of a 2-4 shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Water is heated in the shell side from 10°C to 50°C while the oil is cooled from 90°C to 60°C. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is 53 W/(m²-°C). The LMTD correction factor is 0.975.

Determine all the view factor for a duct of equilateral triangular cross section. Assume that all surfaces are plane.?


A chamber for heat curing large aluminium sheets, lacquered black on both sides, operates by passing the sheets vertically between two steel plates 150mm apart. One of the steel plates is at 300°C and the other plate is at 25°C. The emissivity of steel plates is 0.56 and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67x108 W/(m²-K4). What is the heat transfer rate per unit area between the plates?

Derive the equation for the partial pressure distribution of A and B for diffusion of A through non-diffusion B considering the point z-0 to z-z where the partial pressure of A is PA?


A Test tube, 1.5 Cm in diameter and 12cm long, has 0.4g camphor on it. How long will it take for the camphor (C,H,O) does disappear? The pressure is atmospheric and the temperature is 200C. The sublimation pressure of camphor at this temperature is 97.5 mmHg and the diffusivity of camphor can be estimated by using the fuller' equation. Diffusion volumes: C-16.4, H=1.98, O-5.48, Air 20.1?
