Heat Transfer
61. As per Kirchoff‟s law, the ratio of the total radiating power to the absorptivity of a body depends on the
- Temperature of the body only
- Wavelength of monochromatic radiation
- Both (A) and (B)
- Nature of material of body
Correct answer: (A)
Temperature of the body only
62. As the difference between the wall temperature and bulk temperature increases, the boiling heat transfer co-efficient
- Continues to increase
- Continues to decrease
- Goes through a minimum
- Goes through a maximum
Correct answer: (C)
Goes through a minimum
63. Asymptotic conditions is reached, when for a fluid flowing in laminar flow through a long tube

- 1
- < 1
- > 1
- None of these
Correct answer: (A)
1
68. Baffle spacing
- Is not the same as baffle pitch
- Should be less than one fifth the diameter of the shell
- Should be less than the inside diameter of the shell
- None of these
Correct answer: (C)
Should be less than the inside diameter of the shell
69. Baffles are provided in heat exchangers to increase the
- Fouling factor

- Decrease the shell side heat transfer co-efficient
Correct answer: (C)
Increase the shell side heat transfer co-efficient
