Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to a shell and tube heat exchanger.

The maximum value of baffle spacing is equal to the I.D. of the shell
Disk and doughnut baffle is the most commonly used baffle
The minimum value of baffle spacing is 50 mm
The maximum unsupported tube span is generally about 75 times tube diameter, but is reduced to about 60 times for aluminium, copper & alloys of these

High pressure fluid in a shell and tube heat exchanger should preferably be routed through the

Shell side for smaller total pressure drop
Shell side, if the flow is counter-current and tube side if the flow is co-current
Tubes to avoid the expansion of high pressure shell construction
Shell side for large overall heat transfer co-efficient
