2. Which of the following is/are known as selective absorbers?
a) Solids
b) Liquids
c) Gases and vapors
d) Vapors
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: They emit and absorb radiant energy in definite parts of the spectrum called bands.

3. Which layers participated in the process of thermal radiation through solids and liquids?
a) 1 micron to 1 mm thick
b) 2 micron to 2 mm thick
c) 1 micron to 0.5 mm thick
d) 2 micron to 4.57 mm thick
View Answer

Answer: a

4. Some of the gases have low emissive power and absorptivity. They are considered practically diathermanous. Which of the following option is true?
a) Ammonia
b) Helium
c) Carbon-dioxide
d) Methane
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Helium is monoatomic gas and is extremely inert to thermal radiation.

5. Consider an enclosure formed by three surfaces having the following values of shape factors, emissivities and temperatures
Find net rate of radiant heat flow from curve surface to each of the closing end surface
Surface 1 i.e. curved cylindrical has an emissivity 0.75 and temperature 800 K
Surface 2 i.e. closing disc has an emissivity 0.8 and temperature 700 K
Surface 3 i.e. closing disc has an emissivity 0.8 and temperature 700 K
The closing flat discs are 25 mm in diameter and they have interspacing distance equal to 100 mm. If the shape factor between these two identical discs is 0.05, calculate the net rate of radiant heat flow from the curve surface to each of the closing end surface
a) 1.561 W
b) 2.561 W
c) 3.561 W
d) 4.561 W
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: F 21 + F 23 + 1 and A 1 = 0.00785 m2, A2 = 0.000491 m2. Then from reciprocity theorem, F 12 = 0.0594. Q12 = F 12 A 1 σ b (T 14 – T 2 4) = 3.561 W.

6. Consider a beam of monochromatic radiation at wavelength λ that enters a layer of absorbing gas. As the beam passes through the gas layer, its intensity
a) Decreases
b) Increases
c) Become twice
d) Remains same
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The decrease is given by d I λ X = – K λ I λ X d x.
