In a heat exchanger, shell side fluid velocity can be changed by changing the tube _______________________?
Correct answer: C. Both A. & B.
- A. Layout
- B. Pitch
- C. Both A. & B.
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
Shell-side velocity is affected by the free flow area between tubes. Changing tube layout or tube pitch changes this area, so either adjustment can alter the shell-side velocity.
