Part A

1. (i) Define thermal diffusivity ?

(ii) Explain the term thermal contact resistance and write its formula. (iii) List and explain factors on which thermal conductivity depends. (iv) Define convection and radiation.

(4x2-8) Part B

2. Derive general heat conduction equation in spherical coordinates.

(4)

3. Derive an expression for temperature distribution and heat flow under one dimensional
steady state heat conduction for plane wall. (4)

4. A pipe ( k= 180w/mc having inner and outer diameters 80mm and 100mm is located at a space at 25C. hot
gases at a temperature 160 C flow through the pipe. Neglecting surface heat transfer coefficients calculate (i)heat loss through the pipe per unit length (ii) the temperature at a point halfway between inner and outer surfaces (iii)the surface area normal to the direction of heat flow so that the heat transfer through the pipe can be determined by considering material of pipe as a plane wall of same thickness. (6)

5. Explain the term Overall heat transfer coefficient (U)
