In a condenser of a power plant, the steam condenses at a temperature of $${60^ \circ }C.$$ The cooling water enters at $${30^ \circ }C$$ and leaves at $${45^ \circ }C.$$ The logarithmic mean temperature difference $$(LMTD)$$ of the condenser is

A spherical steel ball of $$12mm$$ diameter is initially at $$100K.$$ It is slowly cooled in a surrounding of $$300K.$$ The heat transfer coefficient between the steel ball and the surrounding is $$5W/{m^2}K.$$ The thermal conductivity of steel is $$20$$ $$W/mK.$$ The temperature difference between the centre and the surface of steel ball is

A pipe of $$25$$ $$mm$$ outer diameter carries steam. The heat transfer coefficient between the cylinder and surrounding is $$5$$ $$W/{m^2}K.$$ It is propsed to reduce the heat loss from the pipe by adding insulation having a thermal conductivity of $$0.05$$ $$W/mK$$. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?
