The equivalent diameter for pressure drop is ________________ that for heat transfer?

Correct answer: A. Smaller than

  • A. Smaller than
  • B. Greater than
  • C. Equal to
  • D. Not related with

Explanation

The pressure-drop equivalent diameter uses the full wetted perimeter, whereas the heat-transfer equivalent diameter uses only the heated perimeter. The larger heat-transfer diameter therefore makes the pressure-drop diameter smaller.
