PAGE 332 HEAT TRANSFER CHAP 7

From equation (i), we easily see that by increasing the thickness of insulation,
the value of thermal conductivity increases and heat loss by the conduction
also increases.
But by increasing the thickness of insulation, the convection heat transfer
co-efficient decreases and heat loss by the convection also decreases. These
both cases are limited for the critical thickness of insulation.

SOL 7.29 Option (D) is correct.

The general heat equation in cartesian co-ordinates,
22T + 22T + 22T = 1 2T
2x2 2y2 2z2 α 2t
For one dimensional heat conduction,
22T = 1 2T = ρc p 2T α = k = Thermal Diffusitivity
2x2 α 2t k 2t ρc p
For constant properties of medium,
2T \ 22T
2t 2x2

SOL 7.30 Option (D) is correct.

Given : T1 > T2 > T3

From, Wien’s displacement law,
λmax T = 0.0029 mK = Cοnstant
λmax \ 1
T
If T increase, then λm decrease. But according the figure, when T increases,
then λm also increases. So, the Wien’s law is not satisfied.

SOL 7.31 Option (C) is correct.
