In case of a multipass shell and tube heat exchanger, the temperature drop in the fluid _______________?

Correct answer: B. And the wall are proportional to individual resistances

  • A. Is inversely proportional to the resistance across which the drop occurs
  • B. And the wall are proportional to individual resistances
  • C. And the wall is not related
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For resistances in series, the heat rate is the same through each resistance and the temperature drop is ΔT = qR. Thus the temperature drop across the fluid or wall is proportional to its individual thermal resistance.
