1. The equation of motion for the liquid film in fully developed laminar flow in y-direction is:
a) µd2uy/dx2 + ρg =0
b) µd2uy/dy2 + ρg =0
c) µd2uy/dz2 + ρg =0
d) µd2uy/dx2 = 0
Explanation: Flow is in y direction but changes with respect to z-direction.
Hence the equation of motion is µd2uy/dz2 + ρg =0.
2. Which two forces is the reynold’s number a ratio of?
a) Gravitational force and interfacial force
b) Interfacial force and viscous force
c) Thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity
d) Conduction and convection
Explanation: The reynold’s number Nre = 4τ/µ is the ratio of interfacial and viscous force.
3. What value of Reynold’s number is obtained with water?
a) 8
b) 16
c) 25
d) 50
Explanation: The value of 25 is obtained with water.
4. What value of reynold’s number represents a laminar flow?
a) 3
b) 2500
c) 5000
d) 78
Explanation: Only the value of 78 lies between 8 and 1200. SO it represents a laminar flow.

a) Momentum conductivity and thermal conductivity
b) Coefficient of convection to thermal conductivity
c) Momentum diffusivity and thermal diffusivity
d) Interfacial force and viscous force
Explanation: Prandtl’s number is the ratio of Momentum diffusivity and thermal diffusivity.
a) Npr = Cpµ/k
b) Npr = Cpk/µ
c) Npr = Cvµ/k
d) Npr = Cpµ
Explanation: Prandtl’s number is the ratio of Momentum diffusivity and thermal diffusivity. Hence the formula is Npr = Cpµ/k.

d) Ratio of total transfer to convective heat transfer
Explanation: Nusselt number is the Ratio of convective heat transfer to conductive heat transfer.
a) hµ/k
b) hρ/k
c) hL/k
d) hΔTL/k
Explanation: The nusselt number hL/k is the ratio of total heat transfer to onductive heat transfer.
a) Na = kcA(cai – ca)
b) Na = kcAΔc
c) Na = kcA(cai – ca)mean
d) Na = kcA(cai – ca)log mean
Explanation: Δc is taken as the driving force and is true every time. It’s expression will change depending upon the conditions.
