Heat rate at P = Heat rate at Q

− 0.1 # 1 # c2T m =− 0.1 # 2 # b2T l

SOL 7.20 Option (B) is correct.

The region beyond the thermal entrance region in which the dimensionless
temperature profile expressed as b T − Tw l remains unchanged is called
T3 − Tw
thermally fully developed region.
Nusselt Number is given by,
Nu = hL = c2T m ...(i)
k 2yl at yl = 0
T = T − Tw and yl =

SOL 7.21 Option (B) is correct.

The counter flow arrangement of the fluid shown below :

Given: for hot fluid : th1 = 60c C , m o h = 1 kg/ sec , ch = 10 kJ/kg K

And for cold fluid : tc2 = 30c C , m oc = 2 kg/ sec , cc = 5 kJ/kg K
Heat capacity of Hot fluid,
Ch = m o h ch = 1 # 10 = 10 kJ/k. sec
And heat capacity of cold fluid,
Cc = moc cc = 2 # 5 = 10 kJ/k sec
By energy balance for the counter flow
mo h ch (th1 − th2) = m
oc cc (tc2 − tc1)
Ch (th1 − th2) = Cc (tc2 − tc1) Ch = Cc
th1 − tc2 = th2 − tc1

ln b θ1 l
θ2
Let, θ1 = x θ1 is equal to θ2 and θm is undetermined
θ2
θ1 = x θ2
Substituting θ1 in equation (i), we get,
θ (x − 1)
θm = lim x θ2 − θ2 = lim 2
x " 1 ln (x) x"1 ln (x)
b 0 l form , So we apply L-hospital rule,

θm = θ2 = θ1 & θ1 = th1 − tc2 = 60 − 30 = 30c C

SOL 7.22 Option (D) is correct.

Given : T1 = 25c C = (273 + 25) = 298 K , A = 0.1 m2 , m = 4 kg ,
c = 2.5 kJ/kg K
h = ? , T2 = 225c C = 273 + 225 = 498 K
Temperature Gradient, dT =− 0.02 K/s

Here negative sign shows that plate temperature decreases with the time.
From the given condition,
Heat transfer by convection to the plate = Rate of change of internal energy
hA (T2 − T1) =− mc dT
dt

h =− mc dT =− 4 # 2.5 # 103 (− 0.02) = 10 W/m2 K

A (T2 − T1) # dt 0.1 (498 − 298) #

SOL 7.23 Option (C) is correct.

Let the location of maximum temperature occurs at the distance x from the
left face. We know that steady state heat flow equation in one dimension
