Minimum tube pitch recommended for shell and tube heat exchangers is about _______________ times the outside diameter of the tube?
A 1.25
B 1.75
C 2.5
D 3.5
Correct Answer: 1.25
In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement ?
A Results in higher shell side pressure drop
B Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter
C Facilitates easier shell side cleaning; hence is more suitable for handling high dirt factor shell
D Creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in lower shell side heat transfer
Correct Answer: Results in higher shell side pressure drop
_____________ heat exchanger is also known as ‘hair pin type’ exchanger?
A Double pipe
B Finned
C Plate type
D Regenerative
Correct Answer: Double pipe
