Heat Transfer Miscellaneous


  1. The radiative heat transfer rate per unit area (W/m2) between two plane parallel gray surfaces (emissivity = 0.9) maintained at 400 K and 300 K is (σ = Stefan Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10–8 W/m2K4)

    α + τ + ρ = 1
    for opaque surface, τ = 0
    ∴ α + ρ = 1

    Correct Option: C

    α + τ + ρ = 1
    for opaque surface, τ = 0
    ∴ α + ρ = 1


  1. The following figure was generated from experimental data relating spectral black body emissive power to wave length at the three temperatures T1, T2 and T3 (T1 > T2 >T3).

    Wien's displacement law is not satisfied, i.e., λmax T = C
    which tells lower λmax for higher temperature.

    Correct Option: D

    Wien's displacement law is not satisfied, i.e., λmax T = C
    which tells lower λmax for higher temperature.
