Which of these is NOT a factor of heat transfer?
A) Temperature Difference
B) Density of Material
C) Thermal Conductivity
D) Surface Area - ANSWER B) Density of Material
Thermal Conductivity, also known as "K" value, is what?
A) A scientific measurement to the number of BTU's that will pass in one hours, through a
material 1" thick, with an area of 1ft2, if the temperature difference from one side to the other
is 1°F
B) Exactly the same results for all materials
C) A measure of total energy
D) Theoretical measurement used to calculate discharge temperatures - ANSWER A) A scientific
measurement to the number of BTU's that will pass in one hours, through a material 1" thick,
with an area of 1ft2, if the temperature difference from one side to the other is 1°F

What is true about "K" value and "R" value? (What's the difference?) - ANSWER "K" value is a
materials ability to transfer heat (conductor)
"R" value is a materials ability to NOT transfer heat (insulator)
, Understanding the "U" Factor means that a good operator will do what?
A) Only consider if the system is maintaining temperature
B) Make sure there is no impeding substance such as ice, dirt, oil on the surfaces of heat
exchangers daily
C) Make sure the compressors are not at maximum compression ratio
D) Use maximum airflow across the coil - ANSWER B) Make sure there is no impeding substance
such as ice, dirt, oil on the surfaces of heat exchangers daily
How many BTU's will be required to be removed from the carrot to drop to the following
desired temperature?
7,000 lbs. of carrots are 95°F and need to be cooled to 36°F
The specific heat of a carrot above freezing is 0.94 BTU/lb. and below freezing is 0.48 BTU/lb.
A) 198,249 BTU's
B) 240,189 BTU's
C) 220,833 BTU's
D) 388,220 BTU's - ANSWER Sensible Heat = Mass x Specific Heat x (T1 - T2)
7,000 x 0.94 x (95 - 36)
7,000 x 0.94 x 59 = 388,220 BTU's
