The shell side pressure drop in a shell and tube heat exchanger is maximum for _______________ baffle?
Correct answer: A. Orifice
- A. Orifice
- B. Segmental
- C. Disk and ring
- D. Independent of the type of
Explanation
Orifice baffles force the shell-side stream through restricted openings, producing strong jetting and the greatest pressure loss among the listed arrangements. Segmental and disk-and-ring baffles generally provide lower resistance for comparable service.
