A plate condenser of dimensions l * b has been designed to be kept with side l in the vertical position. However due to oversight during erection and installation, it was fixed with side b vertical. How would this affect the heat transfer? Assume laminar conditions and same thermos-physical properties and take b = l/2

A plate condenser of dimensions l * b has been designed to be kept with side l in the vertical position. However due to oversight during erection and installation, it was fixed with side b vertical. How would this affect the heat transfer? Assume laminar conditions and same thermos-physical properties and take b = l/2 Correct Answer The condenser should be installed with shorter side vertical

h 1 = 0.943 0.25, h2 = 0.943 0.25. So, h 1/h 2 = 0.8409.

Six boxes containing different items namely, Copy, Pen, pencil, Scissor, Tape and Paper, are kept in a straight line, one after the other, not necessarily in the same order. The box of Pen is kept at the third position in the line from the left end. The box of Paper is kept at the extreme right end. The box of Pencil is kept somewhere between box of pen and box of paper. The box of Tape is kept at the left of the box of Pen but at the right of the box of Copy, when counting from the left end. The box of scissor is not kept immediately next to Paper. Which box is kept at the second position from the right end?
A stream of air at 100 kPa pressure and 300 K is flowing on the top surface of a thin flat sheet of solid naphthalene of length 0.2 m with a velocity of 20 m/sec. The other data are: Mass diffusivity of naphthalene vapor in air = 6 * 10 –6 m2/sec Kinematic viscosity of air = 1.5 * 10 –5 m2.sc Concentration of naphthalene at the air-solid naphthalene interface = 1 * 10 – 5 kmol/m3 Calculate the overage mass transfer coefficient over the flat plate. Note: For heat transfer over a flat plate, convective heat transfer coefficient for laminar flow can be calculated by the equation. Nu = 0.664 ReL1/2 Pr1/3 you may use analogy between mass and heat transfer.
A hot plate of 15 cm2 area maintained at 200 degree celsius is exposed to still air at 30 degree Celsius temperature. When the smaller side of the plate is held vertical, convective heat transfer rate is 15 per cent higher than bigger side of the plate is held vertical. Find size of the plate. The appropriate correlation for the convection coefficient is Nu = 0.60 (Gr Pr) 0.25
A plate condenser was designed to be kept vertical. How would the condensation coefficient be effected if due to site constraints, it has to be kept at 60 degree to the horizontal?
The cages of five animals, Lion, Tiger, Elephant, Giraffe and Zebra were kept in a line one after the other, not necessarily in the same order. Lion’s cage is not kept at the last and giraffe’s cage is not kept at the first. Tiger’s cage was kept at the centre of the line. Zebra’s cage was kept after Lion’s but before Tiger’s cage. There was one cage kept between Tiger’s and Giraffe’s cage. Whose cage is kept at the last in the line?
To effect a bond between two metal plates, 2.5 cm and 15 cm thick, heat is uniformly applied through the thinner plate by a radiant heat source. The bonding must be held at 320 K for a short time. When the heat source is adjusted to have a steady value of 43.5 k W/m2, a thermocouple installed on the side of the thinner plate next to source indicates a temperature of 345 K. Calculate the temperature gradient for heat conduction through thinner plate. In the diagram, the upper plate is 2.5 cm thick while the lower is 15 cm thick.
Experimental results indicate that the local heat transfer coefficient h g for flow over a flat plate with an extremely rough surface is approximated by the relation h x = a x -0.12 Where a is a constant coefficient and x is distance from the leading edge of the plate. What is the relation between this local heat transfer coefficient and the average heat transfer coefficient for a plate of length x?
In a surface condenser, the water flowing through a series of tubes at the rate of 200 kg/hr is heated from 15 degree Celsius to 75 degree Celsius. The steam condenses on the outside surface of tubes at atmospheric pressure and the overall heat transfer coefficient is estimated at 860 k J/m2 hr degree. Find the number of transfer units of the heat exchanger. At the condensing pressure, stream has saturation temperature 0f 100 degree Celsius and the latent heat of vaporization is 2160 k J/kg. Further, the steam is initially just saturated and the condensate leaves the exchanger without sub-cooling i.e. only latent heat of condensing steam is transferred to water. Take specific heat of water as 4 k J/kg K
