    This document contains a practice exam for a heat and mass transfer course. It includes two parts - Part A contains 9 multiple choice questions about heat transfer concepts and Part B contains two long-form questions. Some of the concepts covered include steady vs unsteady heat transfer, Fourier's law of conduction, thermal conductivity, log mean area, temperature distributions, insulation thickness calculations, and heat loss rate calculations. The exam is testing students' understanding of fundamental heat transfer topics and their ability to apply these concepts to calculate values like insulation thickness, heat loss rates, and temperature distributions.
