4-8. Q = UA(T2-T1); A formula for heat transfer is given
where: Q – Rate of Heat transfer
U – Empirical constant
(T2-T1) – Temperature difference between surrounding and system
4. When Q < 0
a) Heat is transferred from system
b) Heat is transferred from surrounding
c) Heat is gained by system
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Q < 0, means T2-T1 < 0; Heat is transferred from system.

5. When Heat is gained by the system
a) Q < 0
b) Q > 0
c) Q = 0
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Heat transferred from the surrounding, T2-T1> 0 so Q > 0.

6. When Q = 0, there is possibility that
a) Temperature of system and surrounding are same
b) System is an adiabatic system
c) Both a and b
d) Neither a nor b
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: For Q = 0, System may be insulated or there is no temperature difference.

7. If Q = 45 W and The values of U and A are 10 and 2.5 with their respective SI units. What is the temperature difference between system and surrounding?
a) 1.8 Degree Celsius
b) 1.8 Degree Fahrenheit
c) 1.8 Degree Rankine
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: T2-T1 = 1.8 Degree Celsius, Q = UA(T2-T1).

8. Q = 45 means
a) Heat is transferred from the system
b) Heat is transferred from surrounding
c) Heat is gained by the surrounding
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Q > 0,Heat is gained by the system and transferred from the surrounding.
