🔍 Key Concepts

• Shell-side vs tube-side flow in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger • Main functions of baffles: tube support and flow direction • How changing flow path length and restriction affects fluid velocity and heat transfer

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Do baffles mainly affect the fluid flowing inside the tubes, or the fluid flowing around the outside of the tubes in the shell? • If you make the flow path more restricted and tortuous, what usually happens to velocity and heat transfer? • Which option correctly matches: (1) tube support, (2) flow guidance, and (3) the direction of velocity change for the fluid affected by the baffles?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which side the baffles are physically installed on (shell side or tube side). • Check which choices correctly identify the location of velocity change: in the shell or in the tubes. • Verify whether better heat transfer usually requires higher or lower fluid velocity past the tube surfaces.
