Baffle spacing is generally _________________ the I.D. of the shell ?
Correct answer: D. Both B. and C.
- A. More than
- B. Not greater than
- C. Not less than one fifth of
- D. Both B. and C.
Explanation
Shell-side baffle spacing is normally kept between about one-fifth of the shell inside diameter and the shell diameter. It is therefore not greater than the shell diameter and not less than one-fifth of it.
