In which of the following process, convection does not takes place primarily?

  1. sea and land breeze

  2. Boiling of water

  3. warming of glass of bulb due to filament

  4. heating air around a furnace


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Heat transfer of glass bulb from filament is through radiation. 
A medium is required for convection process.
As a bulb is almost evacuated, heat from the filament is transmitted through radiation.

A double-plane window consist of two glass sheets each of area $1m^2$ and thickness $0.01m$ separated by a $0.05m$ thick stagnant air space In the steady state, the room glass interface and the glass outdoor interface are at constant temperature of $27^oC$ and $0^oC$ respectively. The rate of heat flow through the window plane is (Given , $k _{glass}=0.8\,\,W\,\,m^{-1}K^{-1},K _{air}=0.08\,\,W\,\,m^{-1}K^{-1})$

  1. $41.5\,\,W$

  2. $31.5\,\,W$

  3. $21.5\,\,W$

  4. $11.5\,\,W$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Total thermal resistance is 
$R=\dfrac{t _1}{K _1A _1}+\dfrac{t _2}{K _2A _2}+\dfrac{t _1}{K _1A _1}$


$R=2\times \dfrac{0.01}{0.8\times 1}+\dfrac{0.05}{0.08\times 1}= 0.65W^{-1}K$

$\therefore $Heat current $,H=\dfrac{\triangle T}{R}=\dfrac{27-0}{0.65}=41.5W$

A 1200 kg car is braked to a stop from 100 km/h. If 60% of this energy appears in the steel brake drums, whose total mass is 10 kg its temperature will rise by $\left( s _ { \text { steel } } = 450 \mathrm { J } / \mathrm { kg } \mathrm { K } \right)$

While measuring the thermal conductivity of liquids, the upper part is kept hot and lower one cool so that :

  1. convectional flow is stopped

  2. radiation is stopped

  3. conduction is easier

  4. it is easier to perform the experiment


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Heat flows from hotter part to colder part and the above arrangement is done to avoid convection currents.

Fireman crawl when entering a burning building because:

  1. It is easier to crawl

  2. Smoke rises high in the air

  3. It helps to move faster

  4. To resist more heat


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Smoke is lighter than air so it rises above the air, hence it is easier to breath crawling than while standing up.

Convection of heat takes place in:

  1. Metals only

  2. Liquids only

  3. Gases only

  4. Liquids and gases


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The molecules of liquids and gases are not rigidly bound to each other and can move freely. This makes the transfer of heat by convection possible.

Birds glide effortlessly in the air with the help of

  1. Conduction of heat in the air

  2. Radiation of light through the atmosphere

  3. Convection currents of air

  4. More sugar


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When birds flap their wings the density of the air decreases nearby since the air particles move apart. This less dense air rises and helps the bird to keep flying. The denser air replaces this space. This movement is known as convection current of air. 

It is hotter at the same distance over the top of a fire than it is on the side of it mainly because

  1. Heat is radiated upwards

  2. Air conducts heat upwards

  3. Convection takes more heat upwards

  4. Conduction, convection and radiation all contribute significantly in transferring heat upwards


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Convection significantly transferring heat upwards. The hot gases from the combustion rises so we get both the radiation heat from the flame to our hand and the convective heat transfer from the hot air to your hand.

State whether the given statement is True or False.
Most of the heat transfer that is taking place on the earth is by Radiation.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Most of heat transfer taking place on earth is due to conduction and convection .

If there were no atmosphere around the earth, the temperature of the earth will

  1. Increase

  2. Decrease

  3. Increase during day and decrease during night

  4. Remain unaffected


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
If there were no atmosphere around the earth, the temperature will decrease.
Earth's atmosphere traps heat from sun and keeps it near to the surface of earth, popularly known as green house effect. It keeps warming the planet and sustaining life on earth. If there were no atmosphere, average temperature drops below zero.
So, we can say that it will decrease.

Why it is more hotter for same distance over the top of a candle than it in the side of its flame?

  1. Conduction of heat in air is upward

  2. Heat is maximum radiated in upward direction

  3. Radiation and conduction both contribute in transferring heat upwards

  4. Convection takes more heat in upward direction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The hot air is less dense (lighter) than the cooler air around it, so it naturally goes upward, making the area above the flame hotter than the area to the sides of it.

On the side of the fire you’re only getting the radiant heat from the burn. On the top you are getting the convective hot air and actual burn chemicals (smoke, etc.) rising with the less dense air.
Hence the D option is correct .

The process which are subjected to action of heat in absence of air is called

  1. Extraction

  2. Polishing

  3. Calcination

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Calcination is defined as converting an ore into its oxide by heating strongly , below its melting point either in a limited supply of air or in the absence of air.

Heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods made of same materials whose ends are maintained at similar temperatures. If diameters of the rods are in ratio 1 : 2 and lengths in the ratio 2 : 1, then the ratio of thermal current through in steady state is:

  1. 1 : 8

  2. 1 : 4

  3. 1 : 6

  4. 4 : 1


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The thermal current is nothing but the rate of flow heat,


$I=\dfrac{Q}{t}=K\Delta T\dfrac{A}{l}$. . . . . .(1)

Where,

$\Delta T= $ change in temperature

$A=\pi r^2$, cross-sectional area of the cylindrical rod.

$K=$ Thermal conductivity.

$l=$ length of the rod

From equation (1)

Thermal current is $I=4\pi K\Delta T \dfrac{d^2}{l}$

$I\alpha \dfrac{d^2}{l}$ where, $d=$ diameter of the cylindrical rod

Given,

$l _1:l _2=2:1$

$d _1:d _2=1:2$

The ratio of the thermal current  is,

$\dfrac{I _1}{I _2}=(\dfrac{d _1}{d _2})^2\times \dfrac{l _2}{l _1}$

$\dfrac{I _1}{I _2}=(\dfrac{1}{2})^2\times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{I _1}{I _2}=\dfrac{1}{8}$

$I _1:I _2=1:8$

Option A is correct.

B) Heavy liquid can be boiled in artificial satellite by convection
Mark correct option/s

  1. Both statements are correct

  2. Both statements are wrong

  3. A is correct but B is wrong

  4. B is correct but A is wrong


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Conduction and Convection are non-existent in space, so both the statements are wrong. 

It is hotter at some distance over the flames than in front of it because :

  1. air conducts heat upwards only

  2. heat is radiated upwards only

  3. convection of heat occurs upwards only

  4. heat is radiated downwards only


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Near flames, heat transfer occurs by both convection and radiation (and some conduction too).
But convection occurs only in upward direction. So, above the flame, it is hotter rather than in front of the flame.

Which of the following process(es) occur(s) during the convective transfer of heat within a large volume of air? 

  1. A continuous flow of warmer and cooler parts of air is established.

  2. The flow of air molecules results in flow of heat.

  3. The cooler portion of the air surrounding a warmer part exerts a buoyant force on it.

  4. As the warmer part of the air moves, it is replaced by cooler air that is subsequently warmed up.


Correct Option: A,B,C,D
Explanation:

A continuous flow of warmer and cooler parts of air is established in which the air molecules are responsible for flow of heat. As the warmer air molecules move up, they are replaced bu cooler air molecules.
