Use of transverse baffles in a shell and tube heat exchanger is done to increase the___________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Rate of heat transfer
- B. Flow velocity
- C. Turbulence of shell side fluid
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
Transverse baffles force the shell-side fluid across the tubes, increasing its velocity and turbulence. Both effects raise the shell-side heat-transfer coefficient, so all three statements apply.
