1. What are the modes of Heat Transfer ?

Explanation

The modes of heat transfer include radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, while conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. Therefore, the correct answer is "All mentioned below" as all three modes of heat transfer are listed.

2. Type of tube patterns are - 

Explanation

The given question is asking about the type of tube patterns. The options provided are triangular (30 deg), square, rotated triangular (60 deg), rotated square (45 deg), all first three options, and all of the above. The correct answer is "All of the above" because it includes all the mentioned types of tube patterns, which are triangular (30 deg), square, rotated triangular (60 deg), and rotated square (45 deg).

3. On Heat exchanger mechanical datasheet tubes are defined by: 

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.

Submit
4. Which TEMA Type is this ?

Explanation

The given TEMA Type is NFT.

Submit
5. Btu/ft-F-hr is the unit of ?

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.

Submit
6. Which of the following is a one pass shell :

Explanation

The one pass shell refers to a shell that executes commands in a single pass, without the need for multiple iterations or passes. In this context, the correct answer is E- Shell, as it is the only option provided that fits this description.

Submit
7. We called the Item 27 in the following figure as-

Explanation

Submit
8. Tubeside velocity can be increased by using -

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.

Submit
9. Minimum baffle spacing as per TEMA is :

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.

Submit
10. Which type of end is used in case of tube side design pressure greater than 2100 psig ?

Explanation

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Submit
14. Kettle shell type is used for _____ services.

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.

Submit
15. Baffle cut varies in between _____ % to _____ % of shell ID.

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.
