Process Equipment and Plant Design In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter Facilitates easier shell side cleaning; hence is more suitable for handling high dirt factor shell side fluid Creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in lower shell side heat transfer co-efficient Results in higher shell side pressure drop Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter Facilitates easier shell side cleaning; hence is more suitable for handling high dirt factor shell side fluid Creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in lower shell side heat transfer co-efficient Results in higher shell side pressure drop ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Process Equipment and Plant Design The main purpose of providing stepping on the trays is to Facilitate handling of large flow rate of liquid Decrease the pressure drop Increase the residence time Improve the flow condition Facilitate handling of large flow rate of liquid Decrease the pressure drop Increase the residence time Improve the flow condition ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Process Equipment and Plant Design Pressure drop due to pipe fittings can be estimated by the equation, ΔP/p = 4f.Le/D.V2/2gc, where, Le = equivalent length of straight pipeline which will incur the same frictional loss as the fitting and D = diameter of the fitting. The value of Le/D (dimensionless) for 45° elbow and 180° close return bends would be respectively around 300 and 500 45 and 75 180 and 300 5 and 10 300 and 500 45 and 75 180 and 300 5 and 10 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
