1422. Which of the following situations can be approximated to a steady state heat transfer system?

A red hot steel slab (having outside surface temperature as 1300°C) exposed to the atmosheric air at 35°C
10 kg of dry saturated steam at 8 kgf/cm² flowing through a short length of stainless steel pipe exposed to atmospheric air at 35°C
Boiling brine kept in open vessel when the bottom surface temperature of the vessel is maintained constant at 180°C
A sub-cooled refrigerant liquid at 8°C flowing at the rate of 6 Kg/minute through a copper pipe exposed to atmospheric air at 35°C
✅ The correct answer is option B.

1430. A steel sphere of radius 0.1 m at 400°K is immersed in an oil at 300°K. If the centre of the sphere reaches 350°K in 20 minutes, how long will it take for a 0.05 m radius steel sphere to reach the same temperature (at the centre) under identical conditions ? Assume that the conductive heat transfer co-efficient is infinitely large.

5 minutes
10 minutes
20 minutes
40 minutes
✅ The correct answer is option A.
