If all the conditions and dimensions are same, then the ratio of velocity through the tubes of a double pass heat exchanger to that through the single pass heat exchanger is_________________?

Correct answer: B. 2

  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 1/2
  • D. 4

Explanation

With the same total flow and tube dimensions, a double-pass exchanger sends the flow through roughly half as many parallel tubes during each pass. The flow area is halved, so the tube velocity doubles.
