Solutions

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol.

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol.

Without shield, the heat transfer is Q_1
So,
Q_1=σ(T_1^4-T_2^4 )/(1/ε_1 +1/ε_2 -1)=σ(T_1^4-T_2^4 )/(1/0.5+1/0.5-1)
Q_1=σ(T_1^4-T_2^4 )/3
With shield the heat transfer is Q_2
Q_2=σ(T_1^4-T_2^4 )/(1/ε_1 +1/ε_2 +2/ε_S -2)
Q_2=σ(T_1^4-T_2^4 )/(1/0.5+1/0.5+2/0.25-2)=σ(T_1^4-T_2^4 )/10
So,
Q_2/Q_1 =3/10
∴Q_2=3/10 Q_1

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given that,
Radiosity (J) = 12 Irradiation = 20 and Emissive power = 10
We know that,
J = E_b + (1 – )G
12 = (10) + (1 – )20
12 = 10 + 20 – 20
18 = 20
ε=18/20=0.9

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. In PERT and CPM network the dummy activity is used to preserve the logic

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Stirling cycle consists of two constant volume and two isothermal processes.

S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. Perpetual motion machine of second kind (PMM-II) violates the second law of thermodynamics.
