Fouling factor_____________________?
Correct answer: A. Accounts for additional resistances to heat flow
- A. Accounts for additional resistances to heat flow
- B. Does not provide a safety factor for design
- C. Is a dimensionless quantity
- D. None of these
Explanation
A fouling factor represents the added thermal resistance caused by deposits such as scale, corrosion products, or biological films. It is included in the overall resistance used to design for the reduced heat-transfer performance.
