Chemical Engineering :: Heat Transfer

  1. In a gas-liquid shell and tube heat exchanger, the

  2. A.
    presence of a non-condensible gas decreases the condensing film co-efficient.
    B.
    gases under high pressure are routed through the tube side, because high pressure gases are corrosive in nature.
    C.
    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.
