A. Triangular pitch
B. Square pitch
C. Diagonal square pitch
D. Heat transfer rate is independent of tube arrangement

A. It reduces heat transfer area
B. More thinner tubes can be used
C. Pressure drop is reduced
D. It makes condenser compact

A. Reducing scale deposition
B. Increasing pressure drop
C. Fixing the tubes
D. Creating turbulence

A. Sorel-Lewis method
B. McCabe-Thiele’s method
C. Ponchon-Savarit method
D. None of these

A. An increase in liquid viscosity
B. An increase in relative volatility for rectification columns
C. Decrease in gas solubility for absorbers
D. All A., B. and C.

A. 4-8
B. 17-34
C. 52-68
D. 88-105

A. A vapor phase reactor
B. Pot type reactor
C. A liquid phase reactor
D. A liquid phase catalytic reactor

A. Allowable gas velocity through the slots
B. Plate spacing
C. Diameter of the column
D. All A., B. and C.

A. 0.1 to 0.25
B. 0.3 to 0.5
C. 0.5 to 0.6
D. 0.65 to 0.80

A. Clearance between shell & baffles and between tube & baffles should be minimum to avoid
by-passing of the fluid, but it should be enough to permit the removal of tube bundle
B. Baffles are supported independently of the tubes by tie rods and positioned by spacers
C. Tie rods are fixed at one end in the tube sheet by making blind holes and the minimum
number of tie rods is 4 with at least 10 mm diameter
D. Bracket supports are used for horizontal shell, while saddle support is used for vertical shell
