The value of fouling factor depends upon the__________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Characteristic of process fluid
- B. Velocity of process fluid containing suspended solids
- C. Suspended solids in the fluid
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
Fouling depends on the fluid characteristics, the concentration of suspended solids, and their velocity because these factors control deposition and removal from the heat-transfer surface. Hence, all three listed effects must be considered.
