Heat Transfer MCQ’s – Kirchoff’s Law
1 - Question
If radiant energy E B emitted by the black surface strikes the non-black surface. If non-black surface has absorptivity α, it will absorb how much radiations?
a) α E B
b) 2 α E B
c) 3 α E B
d) 4 α E B
View Answer
Explanation: The remainder (1 – α) will be reflected back for full absorption at the black surface.
2 - Question
If two surfaces are at the same temperature, then the conditions correspond to mobile thermal equilibrium for which the resultant interchange of heat is zero are
a) 3 E – α E B = 0
b) 2 E – α E B = 0
c) E – α E B = 0
d) ½ E – α E B = 0
View Answer
Explanation: The remainder (1 – α) will be reflected back for full absorption at the black surface.
3 - Question
The absorptivity of black body equals to
a) 2
b) 1
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer
Explanation: The absorptivity of black body equals to unity.
4 - Question
A diathermanous body
a) Shines as a result of incident radiation
b) Gets heated up a result of absorption of incident radiation
c) Allows all the incident radiation to pass through it
d) Partly absorbs and partly reflects the incident radiation
View Answer
Explanation: It behaves like a body that allows all the incident radiation to pass through it.
5 - Question
Choose the false statement
a) Snow is nearly black to thermal radiation
b) Absorption of radiation occurs in a very thin layer of material near the surface
c) Transmissivity varies with the wavelength of incident radiation
d) Most of the engineering materials have rough surfaces, and these rough surfaces give regular (specular) reflections
View Answer
Explanation: Rough surfaces give diffused reflections. Reflections from highly polished and smooth surfaces have regular characteristics.
6 - Question
The emissivity and the absorptivity of a real surface are equal for radiation with identical temperature and wavelength. This law is referred to as
a) Kirchhoff’s law
b) Lambert’s law
c) Planck’s law
d) Wein’s displacement law
View Answer
Explanation: Emissivity and absorptivity are related by Kirchhoff’s law.
7 - Question
With an increase in wavelength, the monochromatic emissive power of a black body
a) Increases
b) Decreases
c) Decreases, reaches a minimum and then increases
d) Increases, reaches a maximum and then decreases
View Answer
Explanation: It firstly increases to its maximum value and then decreases to zero.
8 - Question
The temperature of a solid surface changes from 27 K to 627 K. The emissive power changes would then confirm to the ratio
a) 6:1
b) 9:1
c) 81:1
d) 27:1
View Answer
Explanation: E2/E1 = (T2/T1)4 = 81.
9 - Question
If the temperature of a hot body is increased by 50%, the amount of radiations emitted by it would increase by nearly
a) 200%
b) 500%
c) 50%
d) 100%
View Answer
Explanation: E2/E1 = (T2/T1)4 = 5.06.
10 - Question
Consider two surfaces, one absolutely black and the other non-black. These surfaces are arranged parallel to each other and so close that the radiation of one falls totally on the other. Choose the correct option
a) 1 denotes the radiant energy E emitted by the non-black surface impinges on the black surface
b) 1 denotes the radiant energy E emitted by the black surface impinges on the non-black surface
c) 2 and 3 denotes the quantity α E b
d) 4 denotes the quantity (1 – α) E b
View Answer
Explanation: The radiant energy E b emitted by the black surface strikes the non-black surface. If the non-black surface has absorptivity α, it will absorb α E b radiations.
