SPU DME 5TH SEM Heat Transfer

This document contains an exam for a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering course on Heat Transfer. The exam has two sections - Section A contains 5 short answer questions each worth 5 marks, covering definitions of heat transfer modes, Fourier's Law of heat conduction, components of a heat exchanger, thermal radiation and the Nusselt number. Section B contains 7 long answer questions worth 15 marks each, requiring analysis of concepts such as unsteady state heat conduction, counter-flow vs parallel-flow heat exchangers, Reynolds and Prandtl numbers, black-body radiation, log mean temperature difference, fins, and thermal boundary layers.

Marks: 100

Section – A

Q1. Answer all the questions. Each question carries 5 marks.


1. Define the concept of heat transfer and describe its three main modes.

2. Explain the role of Fourier's law in understanding heat conduction. Provide an


example of its application in real-world situations.

3. What are the essential components of a heat exchanger? Describe how a


simple heat exchanger works.

4. Discuss the concept of thermal radiation. How does it differ from conduction
and convection?

the field of heat transfer.
Section – B

Q2. 7 QUESTIONS, ATTEMPT ANY 5. EACH QUESTION CARRIES 15 MARKS


1. Analyze the concept of unsteady state heat conduction. Provide an example
illustrating its principles and mathematical modeling.

2. Discuss the principles and working of a counter-flow heat exchanger. How does
it differ from a parallel-flow heat exchanger?

3. Describe the role of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers in heat transfer during
forced convection. Give an example of how they can be used in engineering
design.
