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
