In a gas-liquid shell and tube heat exchanger, the All of these Gases to be heated/cooled is normally routed through the shell side, because the corrosion caused by the cooling water or steam condensate remain localised to the tubes Gases under high pressure are routed through the tube side, because high pressure gases are corrosive in nature Presence of a non-condensible gas decreases the condensing film co-efficient TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?

A process stream of dilute aqueous solution flowing at the rate of10 Kg.s⁻¹ is to be heated. Steam condensate at 95°C is available for heating purpose, also at a rate of 10 Kg.s⁻¹. A 1 - 1 shell and tube heat exchanger is available. The best arrangement is Counter flow with process stream on shell side Parallel flow with process stream on tube side Parallel flow with process stream on shell side Counter flow with process stream on tube side TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The equation, (NSt x N2/3Pr) = f/2, is the __________ analogy. Colburn None of these Reynolds Prandtl TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A 10 cm dia steam pipe, carrying steam at 180°C, is covered with an insulation (conductivity = 0.6 W/m.°C). It losses heat to the surroundings at 30°C. Assume a heat transfer co-efficient of 0.8 W/m².°C for heat transfer from surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. If the insulation thickness is 2 cms, the rate of heat loss from this insulated pipe will be Greater than that for uninsulated steam pipe Less than the steam pipe with 5 cms insulation Less than that of the uninsulated steam pipe Equal to that of the uninsulated steam pipe TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
