Pick out the wrong statement. A)Superheated steam is preferably not used for process heating because of its low heat transfer film co-efficient B)In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the shell pressure drop is maximum for orifice baffles C)S.I. unit of fouling factor is Watt/m² .°K D)Longitudinal fins are used in extended surface heat exchangers, when the direction of fluid flow is parallel to the axis of the tube

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct SI unit for fouling factor is $W/m^2 \cdot K$, not as stated in option C. The fouling factor is a measure of the resistance to heat flow caused by the deposition of unwanted material on the heat transfer surfaces.
