In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the shell side fluid velocity can‟t be changed by changing the_________________?
Correct answer: B. Tube diameter
- A. Tube layout
- B. Tube diameter
- C. Tube pitch
- D. Number of baffles
Explanation
Shell-side velocity is controlled mainly by the available shell-side flow area, which is changed by tube layout, tube pitch, and baffle arrangement. Tube diameter primarily changes the tube-side flow area, so it is the intended exception.
