Statement 1: Scraping improves heat transfer co-efficient by 5 times in case of non-Newtonian fluids. Statement 2: In food industry, major physical changes to food items when they’re processed, take place like transformation from Newtonian to Non-Newtonian fluids. Hence, scraped surface heat exchangers are very beneficial.

Correct Answer: True, True
Both the statements are true.

Statement 1: For non-Newtonian fluids, another term called apparent viscosity is used as their viscosity changes with the change in the shear rate. Statement 2: For non-Newtonian fluids, between the transition region, the power number for non-Newtonian fluids is slightly higher than that for Newtonian fluids.

Simplify the value of $$\frac{{{\text{0}}{\text{.9}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.9}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.9 + 0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2 + 0}}{\text{.3}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} - {\text{3}} \times 0.9 \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}}}}{{{\text{0}}{\text{.9}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.9 + 0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2 + 0}}{\text{.3}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} - 0.9 \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} - {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} - 0.3 \times 0.9}} = ?$$

$$\frac{{38 \times 38 \times 38 + 34 \times 34 \times 34 + 28 \times 28 \times 28 - 38 \times 34 \times 84}}{{38 \times 38 + 34 \times 34 + 28 \times 28 - 38 \times 34 - 34 \times 28 - 38 \times 28}}$$            is equal to = ?

Statement 1: Plate heat exchangers are used in heat sensitive foods like milk. Statement 2: Principle behind plate heat exchangers is that there is very less space between the plates and hence quick heating can take place.

The important design and operating considerations for Extended-Surface Compact Heat Exchangers are: (1) Both fluids may have high or low heat transfer coefficients (2) As the tubes are very narrow (low DH), the fluid used should not be corrosive as effective cleaning of tubes is not possible. (3) The fluid pressure drop calculation is important as a regulatory method to ensure long life of the tubes. (4) Unlike shell and tube type heat exchangers, these are limited when it comes to operating pressure and temperature.

Which of the following statements about two-phase heat exchangers are correct? Statement 1: Two-phase heat exchangers undergo phase change during the heat transfer process. Statement 2: It is used mainly in water-to-water heat transfer applications.

Experimental results indicate that the local heat transfer coefficient h g for flow over a flat plate with an extremely rough surface is approximated by the relation h x = a x -0.12 Where a is a constant coefficient and x is distance from the leading edge of the plate. What is the relation between this local heat transfer coefficient and the average heat transfer coefficient for a plate of length x?

Statement 1: Cost reduction trend of the food industry often leads manufacturers to forget the health aspect of the food, although health itself is another important trend of the food industry. Statement 2: Food processing industries now-a-days is also looking into energy efficiency methods to process food. Hence it’s an upcoming trend.

A heat exchanger with heat transfer surface area A and overall heat transfer coefficient U handles two fluids of heat capacities Cmax and Cmin. The number of transfer units (NTU) used in the analysis of heat exchanger is specified as

Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers are used for fluids which are generally heat ________
