Heat Transfer

211. In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the tube side heat transfer co-efficient just at the entrance of the tube is

  1. Infinity
  2. Zero
  3. Same as average heat transfer co-efficient for tube side
  4. None of these
Correct answer: (A)
Infinity

212. In a shell and tube type heat exchanger, the floating tube bundle heat arrangement is used

  1. In low range of temperature differences
  2. In high range of temperature differences
  3. Because of its low cost
  4. To prevent corrosion of the tube bundles
Correct answer: (B)
In high range of temperature differences

213. In a single effect evaporator, the economy is

  1. 1
  2. < 1
  3. > 1
  4. None of these
Correct answer: (B)
< 1

214. In a single evaporator system, the steam economy _________ by creating vacuum in the evaporator.

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Remain constant
  4. May increase or decrease, depends on the vacuum
Correct answer: (A)
Increases

215. In an extended surface heat exchanger, fluid having lower co-efficient

  1. Flows through the tube
  2. Flows outside the tubes
  3. Can flow either inside or outside the tubes
  4. Should not be used as it gives very high pressure drop
Correct answer: (B)
Flows outside the tubes

216. In an interphase heat transfer process, the equilibrium state corresponds to equality of temperature in the two phases, while the condition for equilibrium in an interphase mass transfer process is equality of

  1. Concentrations

  3. Surface area to volume
  4. Surface area to perimeter
Correct answer: (A)
Volume to surface area

218. In case of _________ boiling, the bubbles formed on a submerged hot surface get absorbed in the mass of the liquid.
