Process Equipment and Plant Design In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement Creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in lower shell side heat transfer co-efficient Results in higher shell side pressure drop Facilitates easier shell side cleaning; hence is more suitable for handling high dirt factor shell side fluid Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter Creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in lower shell side heat transfer co-efficient Results in higher shell side pressure drop Facilitates easier shell side cleaning; hence is more suitable for handling high dirt factor shell side fluid Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP

Process Equipment and Plant Design The centre to centre distance between two consecutive baffles in a shell and tube heat exchanger is called the baffle pitch or baffle spacing, which is more than 1/5th the I.D. of the shell. Which of the following is not a function of the baffles? To increase the tube side heat transfer co-efficient by inducing turbulence To provide support to the tube bundle To increase the residence time of shell side fluid To reduce the induced vibration in the tubes To increase the tube side heat transfer co-efficient by inducing turbulence To provide support to the tube bundle To increase the residence time of shell side fluid To reduce the induced vibration in the tubes 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 5 and 10 45 and 75 300 and 500 180 and 300 5 and 10 45 and 75 300 and 500 180 and 300 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
