- Question
In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement
Options- 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.
- Correct Answer
- results in higher shell side pressure drop.
- 1. In a distillation column, bubble caps are located on trays with a pitch of __________ times the outside diameter of the caps.
Options- A. 1.3 to 2
- B. 1.6 to 2
- C. 2.5
- D. 1.5 to 3 Discuss
- 2. In a bag filter, the pressure drop increases directly as the
Options- A. density of the gas, but is independent of the viscosity of the gas.
- B. density of the gas and inversely as viscosity of the gas.
- C. viscosity of the gas and inversely as density of the gas.
- D. none of these. Discuss
- 3. Pick out the wrong statement
Options- A. In a flanged and standard dished head, the crown radius is ? shell outside diameter.
- B. In a flanged and shallow dished head, the crown radius is > shell outside diameter.
- C. Flat head covers are most suitable for larger vessels operating at very high pressure.
- D. Flanged only head is a type of flat head in which gradual change in the shape at the centre results in reduced local stresses. Discuss

Options- A. decreases.
- B. increases.
- C. remains unaffected.
- D. may increase or decreaes depending upon whether the fluid is Newtonian or non-Newtonion. Discuss
