PART B - (3x16=48 Marks)
(i) Water is to be boiled at atmospheric pressure in a polished copper pan by
means of electric heater. The diameter of the pan is 0.38m and is kept at
115c. Calculate following 1. Power required boiling the water 2. Rate of
evaporation 3. Critical flux.

(ii) An aluminium pan of 15cm diameter is used to boil water and the water
depth at the time of boiling is 2.5 cm. the pan is placed on an electric stove
and heating element raises the temperature of the pan to 110c. Calculate the
power input for boiling and the rate of evaporation. Take c sf = 0.0132

8.

A vertical flat plate in the form of fin is 500mm in height and is exposed to
steam at atmospheric pressure. If surface of the plate is maintained at 60c,
calculate following 1. The film thickness at the trailing edge 2. Over all heat
transfer coefficient 3. Heat transfer rate 4. condensate mass flow rate.
(Assume laminar flow and unit width of plate)

9.

In a cross flow both fluids unmixed heat exchanger, water at 6c flowing at

the rate of 1.25 kg/s. It is used to cool 1.2 kg/s of air that is initially at a
temperature of 50c. Calculate the following
(a) Exit temperature of air
(b) Exit temperature of water
Assume overall heat transfer coefficient is 130 w/m 2 k and area is 23 m2.
