using BuCkBuckinghamIt theorem. (10 Marks)
b. Assuming that a man can be represented by a cylinder 30 cm in diameter and 1.7 m
high with a surface temperature of 30C. Calculate the heat he would lose while
standing in a 36 km/h wind at l0C. (10 Marks)
6 a. With the help of neat sketch explain the different regimes of boiling. (08 Marks)
b. What are fouling factors? Explain their effect in heat exchanger design calculations.
(04 Marks)
c. A certain heat exchanger has a total outside area of 15.82 m2. It is to be operated for
cooling oil at 110C (Cp = I 900.1/kg K') flowing at a rate of 170.9 kg/min. Water
at the rate of 68 kg/min is available at 35C as a cooling agent. If the overall heat
transfer co-efficient is 320 W/m2-1(, calculate the outlet temperature of oil and water
for counter flow arrangement. (08 Marks)

(06 Marks)
c. Two large parallel plates are at 1000K and 800K. Determine the heat exchange per
unit area when,
i) The surfaces are black.
ii) The hot surface has an emissivity of 0.9 and cold 0.6
iii) A large plate of emissivity 0.1 is inserted between them.
Also find the percentage reduction in heat transfer because of introduction of the
large plate. (08 Marks)
