Q1:

Minimum recommended baffle spacing in a shell and tube heat exchanger is about (where, D = shell diameter)

A 0.2 D

B 0.5 D

C 0.66 D

D 0.80 D

ANS:A - 0.2 D

The minimum recommended baffle spacing in a shell and tube heat exchanger is typically about 0.25 to 0.30 times the shell diameter (D). So, the closest option from the given choices would be: a) 0.2 D
