boiling water pan for 4 minutes and found to be boiled to consumer’s test. For
how long should a similar egg for the same consumer be boiled when taken
from a refrigerator at 5 0C. Take the following properties for egg:

(b) Determine the steady state temperature distribution along the length of a pin fin, whose 07
tip loses the heat to the surrounding. Also obtain the expression of fin efficiency and
fin effectiveness.

(b) Two large parallel plates with ε = 0.5 each, are maintained at different temperature and 07
are exchanging heat only by radiation. Two equally large radiation shields with surface
emissivity 0.05 are introduced in parallel to the plates. Find the percentage reduction in
net heat transfer by radiation.

0.82. If the surface of the rod has an emissivity of 0.62, find the time required for the
heating operation. Take for steel : c = 0.67 kJ/kg K, ρ= 7845 kg/m3.
