Rods of the same size of two different materials P and Q placed end to end in thermal contact and heavily lagged at their sides. The outer ends of P and Q are kept at 0°C and 100°C respectively. The thermal conductivity of P is four times that of Q. The steady state temperature of the interface is

20°C

75°C

25°C

80°C

A drop of water is sprinkled on a red hot iron plate. The drop forms a small sphere but does not vaporize immediately. This happens because

Red hot iron is a poor conductor of heat

A layer of water vapour between the drop and plate prevents conduction of heat

Boiling point of water is raised

None of these

A Carnot engine uses nitrogen as the working fluid (γ = 1.4). The heat supplied is 52 kJ and adiabatic expansion ratio is 32 : 1. The receiver temperature is 295 K. The amount of heat rejected is ______kJ.

The air with enthalpy of 100 kJ/kg is compressed by an air compressor to a pressure and temperature at which its enthalpy becomes 200 kJ/kg. The loss of heat is 40 kJ/kg from the compressor as the air passes through it. Neglecting kinetic and potential energies, the power required for an air mass flow of 0.5 kg/s is ___ kW.

In an orifice meter, if the pressure drop across the orifice is overestimated by 5% then the PERCENTAGE error in the measured flow rate is

1.57

2.46

3.26

None of these.

A pump draws oil (specific gravity 0.8) from a storage tank and discharges it to an overhead tank. The mechanical energy delivered by the pump to the fluid is 50 J/kg. The velocities at the suction and the discharge points of the pump are 1 m/s and 7 m/s, respectively. Neglecting friction losses and assuming kinetic energy correction factor to be unity, the pressure developed by the pump (in kN/m2)
