In a multipass shell and tube heat exchanger, the shell side cross flow area does not depend upon______________________?

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.

A. Radial flow
B. Cross flow
C. Split flow
D. Cascade

A. ≤ 1
B. ≤ 2
C. > 2.5
D. > 3.5

A. Inner
B. Outer
C. Approximate
D. None of these

A. Called tube pitch
B. Called tube clearance
C. More in case of triangular pitch as compared to square pitch of tube layout
D. None of these

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
