Shell side pressure drop in a shell and tube heat exchanger does not depend upon the_________________?
Correct answer: D. None of these
- A. Baffle spacing & shell diameter
- B. Tube diameter & pitch
- C. Viscosity, density & mass velocity of shell side fluid
- D. None of these
Explanation
Shell-side pressure drop depends on baffle geometry, tube layout, and fluid properties such as viscosity, density, and mass velocity. Since every listed factor affects resistance to shell-side flow, none of the options is excluded.
