(A) Through the walls of the refrigerator
(B) During annealing of castings
(C) Through the walls of the furnace
(D) Through lagged pipe carrying steam
View Answer
Explanation: Under steady state condition, with time there is a change in temperature i.e. temperature field is a function of space and time.
3. Which of the following is the unit of thermal resistance?
(A) degree/kcal
