In a shell and tube heat exchanger for a given heat transfer surface area, smaller diameter tubes are favoured as compared to larger diameter ones ; because the smaller diameter tubes

Are less prone to fouling
None of these
Can be fitted into a smaller shell diameter hence the cost of the heat exchanger would be less
Are easier to clean

Ponchon Savarit method is based on the use of enthalpy concentration diagram, which contains the bubble point curve (saturated liquid curve), dew point curve (saturated vapour curve) and equilibrium tie lines. As compared to McCabe-Thiele's method, this method

Facilitates direct calculation of heat load on reboiler & condenser from, the diagram used in this method
All of these
Is more accurate in finding the number of equilibrium stages
Accounts for the enthalpy changes in the process

Number of evaporators which can be used in service in a multiple effect evaporation system is limited by the

Both A & B
Neither A nor B
Practical limit reached, due to low heat transfer rate because of inadequate temperature difference
Economic limit reached, when the plant cost exceeds the saving of steam
