In Joule’s experiment, an insulated container contains 20 kg of water initially at 25°C. It is stirred by an agitator, which is made to turn by a slowly falling body weighing 40 kg through a height of 4 m. The process is repeated 500 times. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms-2. Neglecting the heat capacity of agitator, the temperature of water (in °C) is________________?
A 40.5
B 34.4
C 26.8
D 25
Correct Answer: 34.4

B P and R
C P and S
D R and S
Correct Answer: P and S
Air is to be heated by condensing steam. Two heat exchangers are available (i) a shell and tube heat exchanger and (ii) a finned tube heat exchanger. Tube side heat transfer area are equal in both the cases. The recommended arrangement is________________?
A Finned tube heat exchanger with air inside and steam outside
B Finned tube heat exchanger with air outside and steam inside
C Shell and tube heat exchanger with air inside tubes and steam on shell side
D Shell and tube heat exchanger with air on shell side and steam inside tubes
Correct Answer: Finned tube heat exchanger with air outside and steam inside
Heat exchanger tubes are never made of_________________?
