In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the shortest centre to centre distance between the adjacent tubes is__________________?
Correct answer: C. Called tube pitch
- A. Always less than the diameter of the tube
- B. Called tube clearance
- C. Called tube pitch
- D. None of these
Explanation
Tube pitch is the centre-to-centre distance between adjacent tubes in a tube bundle. Tube clearance is the gap between tube surfaces, so it is not the same measurement.
