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
Is more accurate in finding the number of equilibrium stages
All of these
Accounts for the enthalpy changes in the process

In case of design of a shell and tube heat exchanger,

All of these
Minimum tube sheet thickness (in which tubes are fixed) is equal to the O.D. of the tube upto 15 mm tube diameter; and for > 15 mm tube diameter, tube sheet thickness is smaller than tube diameter
Minimum cleaning lane of 6.5 mm is provided, when tubes are on a square pitch
O.D. of the tube is 6 to 40 mm while the tube lengths used are 0.5, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6 metres

Pick out the wrong statement about routing of fluids in a shell and tube heat exchanger.

Lower flow rate fluid should be routed through the shell side
The corrosive and fouling fluid should be preferably routed through the tubes
Higher pressure fluid stream should be routed through the shell side
The viscous fluid should be routed through the shell side
