UNSTEADY STATE HEAT CONDUCTION

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

(MCQ) WITH ANSWERS 

MCQ makes a topic very clear. It

increases the depth of understanding. It

is easy to apply it in real life applications.

everywhere. It is exponential time

dependent. Newtonian cooling / heating

is  unsteady state heat conduction. There

are three possibilities with unsteady state

heat conduction. These are Bi <0.1, Bi=1
