The ratio of tube length to shell diameter in case of liquid shell and tube heat exchanger ranges from__________________?
Correct answer: A. 4 to 8
- A. 4 to 8
- B. 3 to 5
- C. 2 to 3
- D. 6 to 12
Explanation
For liquid shell-and-tube heat exchangers, a tube length several times the shell diameter is preferred for economical design and manageable pressure drop. The commonly cited range is about 4 to 8.
