- 6. Optimum economic pipe diameter for fluid flow is determined by the
Options- A. viscosity of the fluid.
- B. density of the fluid.
- C. total cost considerations (pumping cost plus fixed cost of the pipe).
- D. none of these. Discuss
Correct Answer: total cost considerations (pumping cost plus fixed cost of the pipe).
- 7. Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to shell and tube heat exchanger.
Options- A. Clearance between shell & baffles and between tube & baffles should be minimum to avoid by-passing of the fluid, but it should be enough to permit the removal of tube bundle.
