Heat Transfer Basics Mcqs

This set of Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “ Heat Transfer ”. These Mcqs are chosen from a collection of most authoritative and best reference books on Chemical Engineering. Our aim is to prepare an individual for competitive exams like NTS, GAT, ECAT, University and College entrance exams, Jobs and interviews. One should practice our MCQS to assimilate Heat Transfer comprehensively.

1.
Select the only wrong statement.

Heat can be converted into work

Heat can be reflected by a mirror

Heat waves cannot pass through vacuum

Heat is a form of energy

3.
When heats is transferred by a chain of molecules from the hot area of an object to a colder area the process of heat transfer is called

Natural convection

Forced convection

Conduction

Radiation

4.
Heat transfer by conduction is described to

5.
Heat transfer by conduction is directly proportional to

(thermal potential difference)/(thermal resistance)

(thermal resistance)/(thermal potential difference)

(thermal potential difference)(thermal resistance)

Thermal resistance

6.
Whenever there is a temperature difference
