In a shell and tube heat exchanger, putting a longitudinal baffle across the shell, forces the shell side fluid to pass _____________ through the heat exchanger ?

Correct answer: B. Twice

  • A. Once
  • B. Twice
  • C. Thrice
  • D. Four times

Explanation

A longitudinal baffle divides the shell into two parallel flow passages, so the shell-side fluid travels through the exchanger twice before leaving. This is called a two-pass shell arrangement.
