1. Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the design of a horizontal tube evaporator.
Options
A. It is unsuitable for concentrating those liquids, which form a scale or deposit salt.
B. It is suitable for process, in which the final product is a liquor instead of solid.
C. Its usual dimensions are: tube dia = 2-3 cms; evaporator body dia = 1-4 metres and evaporator height = 2.5-4 metres.
D. Liquor flows inside the tube, while the steam is outside submerging the tube.
Correct Answer: Liquor flows inside the tube, while the steam is outside submerging the tube.
2. In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the overall heat transfer co-efficient is proportional to the tube side (volumetric flow rate)0.8. This is valid, only when the ratio of the tube side film resistance to the total resistance is almost equal to
