For conduction heat transfer, the heat energy propagation will be minimal for __________

A 25 mm diameter egg roll (k = 1 W/m degree) is roasted with the help of microwave heating. For good quality roasting, it is desired that temperature at the center of roll is maintained at 100 degree Celsius when the surrounding temperature is 25 degree Celsius. What should be the heating capacity in W/m ³ of the microwave if the heat transfer coefficient on the surface of egg roll is 20 W/m² degree?

The rate of heat transfer for a plane wall of homogenous material with constant thermal conductivity is given by which of the following equation?

The appropriate rate equation for convective heat transfer between a surface and adjacent fluid is prescribed by which law?

A wire of radius 3 mm and 1.25 m length is to be maintained at 60 degree Celsius by insulating it by a material of thermal conductivity 0.175 W/m K. The temperature of surrounding is 20 degree Celsius with heat transfer coefficient 8.5 W/ m² K. Find percentage increase in heat loss due to insulation?

Why fins are provided on a heat transfer surface?

A heating unit is made in the form of a vertical tube of 50 mm outside diameter and 1.2 m height. The tube is fitted with 20 steel fins of rectangular section with height 40 mm and thickness 2.5 mm. The temperature at the base of fin is 75 degree Celsius, the surrounding air temperature is 20 degree Celsius and the heat transfer coefficient between the fin as well as the tube surface and the surrounding air is 9.5 W/m² K. If thermal conductivity of the fin material is 55 W/m K, find the amount of heat transferred from the tube without fin

What is the rate of heat transfer from the fin in case of fin insulated at the tip?

Consider the following statements pertaining to heat transfer through fins

(i) They must be arranged at right angles to the direction of flow of working fluid

(ii) The temperature along the fin is variable and accordingly heat transfer rate varies along the fin elements

(iii) Fins are equally effective irrespective whether they are on the hot side or cold side of the fluid

(iv) Fins are made of materials that have thermal conductivity higher than that of wall

Identify the correct statements

In which of the following cases provision of fins on a given heat transfer surface will be more effective?
