  • A. Transition
  • B. Nucleate
  • C. Film
  • D. All modes of

Explanation: Fins are advantageous in film boiling because the vapour film creates high thermal resistance and gives a relatively low heat-transfer…

Correct answer: Film
  • A. 25
  • B. 45
  • C. 65
  • D. 20

Explanation: Very inefficient or older steam boilers may have thermal efficiencies near 20%, although modern boilers are usually much more efficient.

Correct answer: 20
  • A. High heat capacity
  • B. Both B. and C.
  • C. High thermal conductivity
  • D. Low heat capacity

Explanation: A cooking vessel should have high thermal conductivity so heat spreads quickly and uniformly, but low heat capacity so it does not require…

Correct answer: Both B. and C.
  • A. Bomb
  • B. Junker's
  • C. Throttling
  • D. Boy's

Explanation: A throttling calorimeter determines steam dryness from the pressure and temperature after throttling, where the process is approximately…

Correct answer: Throttling
  • A. All 'A', 'B' & 'C'
  • B. Wet bulb temperature=dew point temperature
  • C. Saturation temperature=dew point temperature
  • D. Wet bulb temperature=dry bulb temperature

Explanation: At 100% relative humidity, the air is saturated, so dry-bulb, wet-bulb and dew-point temperatures are all equal.

Correct answer: All 'A', 'B' & 'C'
