The inner wall of a furnace is at a temperature of 700°C. The composite wall is made of two substances, 10 and 20 cm thick with thermal conductivities of 0.05 and 0.1 W.m-1.°C-1 respectively. The ambient air is at 30°C and the heat transfer co-efficient between the outer surface of wall and air is 20 W.m⁻².°C-1. The rate of heat loss from the outer surface in W.m-2is

165.4
167.5

✅ The correct answer is option A.

In a 1-1 cocurrent heat exchanger, if the tube side fluid outlet temperature is equal to the shell side fluid outlet temperature, then the LMTD is

∞
0
Equal to the difference between hot and cold fluids inlet temperature
Equal to the difference between hot fluid inlet temperature and cold fluid outlet temperature
✅ The correct answer is option B.
