In a multipass shell and tube heat exchanger, the shell side cross flow area does not depend upon______________________?
Correct answer: D. None of these
- A. Baffle spacing
- B. Clearance
- C. Pitch
- D. None of these
Explanation
Shell-side cross-flow area is determined from the shell diameter, baffle spacing, tube pitch and tube-to-tube clearance. Therefore, each listed variable affects the area, making “none of these” correct.
