- 4. In Joule's experiment, an insulated container contains 20 kg of water initially at 25°C. It is stirred by an agitator, which is made to turn by a slowly falling body weighing 40 kg through a height of 4 m. The process is repeated 500 times. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms-2.

- B. 34.4
- C. 26.8
- D. 25 Discuss
- 5. A 10 cm dia steam pipe, carrying steam at 180°C, is covered with an insulation (conductivity = 0.6 W/m.°C). It losses heat to the surroundings at 30°C. Assume a heat transfer co-efficient of 0.8 W/m2.°C for heat transfer from surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. If the insulation thickness is 2 cms, the rate of heat loss from this insulated pipe will be
Options- A. greater than that for uninsulated steam pipe.
- B. less than that of the uninsulated steam pipe.
- C. equal to that of the uninsulated steam pipe.
- D. less than the steam pipe with 5 cms insulation. Discuss
- 6. With increase in porosity, the thermal conductivity of a solid substance
Options- A. increases
- B. decreases
- C. remains unchanged
- D. may increase or decrease; depends on the solid Discuss
