Pick out the wrong statement about distillation operation

In differential (simple) distillation, the vapour is removed as soon as it is formed without appreciable condensation
Distillation under vacuum is a substitute for steam distillation
In flash (equilibrium) distillation, a definite fraction of liquid is vaporised in such a way that the evolved vapour & residual liquids are in equilibrium with each other
Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam distillation are all continuous distillation processes

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

All of these
Minimum cleaning lane of 6.5 mm is provided, when tubes are on a square pitch
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
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
