Weep holes provided in the plates of a distillation column ____________________?

A. Facilitate draining out liquid from a tray when the unit is not in operation
B. Are normally located near the overflow weir so that any delivery of liquid during operation
follows approximately the same path as the overflow fluid
C. Must be large enough (usually 1/4″ to 5/8″ dia) to prevent plugging but should not deliver
excessive amount of fluid during operation
D. All A., B. and C.

In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement ?

Process Equipment and Plant Design /
In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement ?

A. Results in higher shell side pressure drop
B. Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter
C. Facilitates easier shell side cleaning; hence is more suitable for handling high dirt factor shell
side fluid
D. Creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in lower shell side heat transfer
co-efficient
