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 Results in higher shell side pressure drop 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 Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter Results in higher shell side pressure drop 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 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Process Equipment and Plant Design A claming section before the liquid flows into the downcomer is privided to Ensure better vapour-liquid contact Reduce the discharge fluctuation Cool the liquid before it flows down Permit release of entrained vapour in the liquid Ensure better vapour-liquid contact Reduce the discharge fluctuation Cool the liquid before it flows down Permit release of entrained vapour in the liquid ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Process Equipment and Plant Design In the allocated cap area, bubble caps are generally arranged on equilateral triangular pitch. Number of caps fixed on a plate is with a Either A or B Neither A nor B Clearance of 25-75 mm Cap pitch of 1.3-2 times the cap diameter Either A or B Neither A nor B Clearance of 25-75 mm Cap pitch of 1.3-2 times the cap diameter ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
