    Correct Answer
    A. Thermal Conductivity
    Explanation
    Btu/ft-F-hr is a unit commonly used to measure thermal conductivity, which is the property of a material to conduct heat. This unit represents the amount of heat that is conducted through a one-foot thickness of material with a temperature difference of one degree Fahrenheit per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is Thermal Conductivity.

    • Tube wall thickness

    • Both option 1 and 3

    • All the three options

    Correct Answer
    A. All the three options
    Explanation
    On a heat exchanger mechanical datasheet, tubes are defined by their outer diameter (OD), the material they are made of, and their wall thickness. Therefore, all three options (1, 2, and 3) are correct as they each represent a different characteristic of the tubes.

    • Front End Type N

    • Front End Type D

    • Rear End Type T

    • Rear End Type S

    Correct Answer
    A. Front End Type D
    Explanation
    In case of tube side design pressure greater than 2100 psig, Front End Type D is used.

    Tubeside velocity can be increased by using -

    • Pass partition plates

    • Baffles

    • More tubes

    • N type front end

    Correct Answer
    A. Pass partition plates
    Explanation
    Pass partition plates can increase tubeside velocity because they create additional flow paths for the fluid to pass through. By dividing the fluid into smaller streams, the velocity of each stream increases, resulting in an overall increase in tubeside velocity. This can be beneficial in applications where higher velocity is desired for improved heat transfer or fluid mixing.

    Which of the following is not true about U-tube heat exchanger ?

    • The tube bundle is removable

    • Low construction cost

    • Requires larger tube diameter than in other exchangers

    • One pass is possible.

    Correct Answer
    A. One pass is possible.
    Explanation
    The U-tube heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger where the tube bundle is removable and it has a low construction cost. Additionally, it requires a larger tube diameter compared to other exchangers. However, one pass is not possible in a U-tube heat exchanger.

    Minimum baffle spacing as per TEMA is :

    • Equal to Shell ID

    • 4 inches

    • 1/5 x Shell ID

    • Minimum of (1/5 x Shell ID) and 4 inches

    Correct Answer
    A. Minimum of (1/5 x Shell ID) and 4 inches
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the minimum of (1/5 x Shell ID) and 4 inches. According to TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) standards, the minimum baffle spacing should be determined by taking either 1/5 of the Shell ID or 4 inches, whichever is greater. This ensures proper flow distribution and heat transfer within the heat exchanger.

    Thermal design of a heat exchanger is not get affected by:

    • Front End

    • Pass Partition

    • Rear End

    • Baffle

    Correct Answer
    A. Front End
    Explanation
    The thermal design of a heat exchanger is not affected by the front end. The front end refers to the entrance section of the heat exchanger where the fluid enters. The design of the front end typically focuses on ensuring proper flow distribution and minimizing pressure drop. However, it does not directly impact the heat transfer efficiency or the overall thermal performance of the heat exchanger. The factors that primarily affect the thermal design include the pass partition, rear end, and baffles, as they play a crucial role in enhancing heat transfer by promoting turbulence and increasing the contact surface area between the fluids.

    The resultant Heat Transfer co-efficient for the below heat transfer system is: (Note: Consider all parameters shown in below figure as a unity) - ProProfs

    The resultant Heat Transfer co-efficient for the below heat transfer system is: (Note: Consider all parameters shown in below figure as a unity)

    • 3

    • 1/3

    • 5

    • 1/5

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/5
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1/5. In heat transfer systems, the heat transfer coefficient represents the ability of a material to transfer heat from one side to another. A higher heat transfer coefficient indicates better heat transfer. In this case, the answer is 1/5, which means that the system has a relatively low heat transfer coefficient. This suggests that the material in the system is not very efficient at transferring heat, and may result in slower or less effective heat transfer.

    Kettle shell type is used for ________ services.

    Correct Answer
    vaporizing
    Explanation
    The kettle shell type is used for vaporizing services. This means that the design and structure of the kettle shell is specifically suited for the process of vaporizing substances. The shape and materials used in the kettle shell allow for efficient heat transfer and containment of the vaporized substance, making it ideal for this particular service.

    Baffle cut varies in between ________ % to ________ % of shell ID.

    Correct Answer
    15
    45
    Explanation
    The baffle cut refers to the percentage of the shell's inner diameter that is occupied by the baffles. In this case, the baffle cut can vary between 15% to 45% of the shell's inner diameter. This means that the baffles will occupy a portion of the shell's interior ranging from 15% to 45% of its total diameter.
