Which characteristic of a fluid is not important in deciding its route in a shell and tube heat exchanger ?
Correct answer: D. None of these
- A. Corrosiveness
- B. Fouling characteristic
- C. Viscosity
- D. None of these
Explanation
Corrosiveness, fouling tendency, and viscosity all influence whether a fluid should flow through the tubes or shell side. Corrosive and fouling fluids are commonly assigned to the easier-to-clean tube side, while viscosity affects heat-transfer and pressure-drop considerations.
