6. ____________ is the transfer of heat through space or matter by means other than conduction or convection.
a) Forced
b) Natural
c) Radiation
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Radiation is the transfer of heat through space or matter by means other than conduction or convection and when the work is done to blow or pump the fluid, it is said to be forced convection while natural convection occurs when the fluid circulates by virtue of the natural differences in densities of hot and cold fluids.

7. In the case of air cooling, the boundary layer as on the gas side offers great resistance, but the effect of this is compensated largely by providing more surface areas by way of cooling pins.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Yes, in case of air cooling, the boundary layer as on the gas side offers great resistance, but the effect of this is compensated largely by providing more surface areas by way of cooling pins.
