01. The process of heat transfer from a hot body to a cold body, in a straight line, without affecting the intervening medium, is called radiation.
02. The counter-current flow heat exchanger can transfer __________ heat than parallel flow heat exchanger.
03. For a white body, absorptivity (α) = 0, reflectivity (ρ) = 1 and transmissivity (τ) = 0.
04. According to Stefan's law, the total radiation from a black body per second per unit area is directly proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature.
05. According to Prevost's theory of exchanges, everybody irrespective of its temperature continuously emit heat radiations to the surrounding bodies and at the same time receives heat radiations from the surrounding bodies.
06. The ratio of emissive power of a body to the emissive power of a perfectly black body is called emissivity.
