Question

The ability of a body to withstand sudden and severe temperature changes is known as________

(a) Thermal shock resistance

(b) Thermal resistance

(c) Thermal transmittance

(d) Deployment

This question was addressed to me during a job interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Thermal Properties in division Properties of Engineering Materials of Engineering Material & Metallurgy

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Thermal shock resistance

The explanation is: Thermal shock resistance is the ability of a body to withstand sudden and severe temperature changes. Thermal resistance is a property by which a material resists heat flow. Thermal transmittance is the rate of transfer of heat through one square meter, divided by the difference in temperature. The thermal admittance is known as the knack of a material to transmit heat when there is temperature variation on its opposite sides.
