237. In Joule's experiment, an insulated container contains 20 kg of water initially at 25°C. It is stirred by an agitator, which is made to turn by a slowly falling body weighing 40 kg through a height of 4 m. The process is repeated 500 times. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms-2. Neglecting the heat capacity of agitator, the temperature of water (in °C) is

  2. 34.4
  3. 26.8
  4. 25
Correct answer: (B)
34.4

238. In natural convection heat transfer, the correlating parameter is the

  1. Graetz number
  2. Eckert number
  3. Grashoff number
  4. Bond number
Correct answer: (C)
Grashoff number

239. In pipe flow, heat is transferred from hot wall to the liquid by

  1. Conduction only
  2. Forced convection only
  3. Forced convection and conduction
  4. Free and forced convection
Correct answer: (C)
Forced convection and conduction

240. In regenerative air preheater (as practised in heating of coke ovens), the heat is transferred

  1. Through a metallic wall
  2. By direct contact of hot flue gas with air
  3. By heating an intermediate material (like chequor bricks) and then heating the air from this hot material
  4. None of these
Correct answer: (C)
By heating an intermediate material (like chequor bricks) and then heating the air from this hot material
