b. Explain the temperature dependency of thermal conductivity of liquid and
[5] 3 1 CO3
gas.
[5] 4 1 CO4
c. Differentiate between molar flux JA and NA.
d. Explain the shear stress versus shear strain curve for Newtonian and [5] 2 1 CO2
non-Newtonian fluid.
2. a. Derive equation of continuity. [7] 1 1 CO1
b. How are the total time derivative and substantial time derivative [5] 1 2 CO1
related to partial time derivative?
c. The distance between two parallel plates is 0.00914m. The lowest [8] 2 5 CO2
plate is being pulled at a relative velocity of 0.366 m/sec greater than
the top plate. The fluid used is soybean oil with viscosity 0.4×10-2 Pa.s
at 303 K. calculate the shear stress and shear rate.

3.
a. Derive the velocity profile for flow through a circular tube and find [14] 2 3 CO2
the average velocity and maximum velocity for flow through a
circular tube
b. A small capillary tube with an inside diameter of 2.2×10-3 m and [6] 2 5 CO2
length of 0.317 m is being continuously used to measure the flow
rate of liquid having density of 990 kg/m3 and µ=1.13×10-3 Pa.sec.
The velocity of liquid is 0275m/sec.Calculate pressure drop

4. a. Show that the temperature rise is a parabolic function of the distance r [14] 3 3 CO3
from the wire axis for heat conduction with an electrical heat source
and find maximum temperature rise and average temperature rise.
b. A furnace wall is exposed to hot gases at 1100K. The wall consists of [6] 3 5 CO3
0.12m of fire brick and 0.25 m of common brick. Heat transfer
coefficients on the hot side are 3000 W/m2K and 22 W/m2K on the
outside. Ambient air is at 300K. What is the heat transfer rate per
 square meter of wall? k=0.138W/mK for both brick.

5. a. How you will relate Peclet number in both mass and heat transport [5] 4 2 CO3
processes?
b. If an O2 –N2 gas mixture at 1 atm and 25oC, the concentration of O2 [15] 4 5 CO4
at two planes, 2 mm apart are 10 and 20 % (v/v) respectively.
Calculate the flux of diffusion of O2 for the case where
i. N2 is non-diffusing.
ii. There is equimolar counter diffusion of gases.
Data: D O2 –N2 = 1.86x10-5 m2/sec at 0oCand D O2 –N2 =
2.064x10-5 m2/sec at 25oC

6. a. Write all the dimensionless numbers correlating mass transport, heat [6] 4 2 CO4
transport and momentum transport processes.
b. Derive the heat flux for composite sphere [14] 4 3 CO4
