Download Solution PDFExplanation:
Baffles are provided on the shell side of a shell and tube heat exchanger for multiple reasons.
Firstly, they prevent the stagnation of shell side fluid, which can lead to hotspots and reduced heat transfer efficiency.
Secondly, they improve heat transfer by creating turbulence in the shell side fluid, which increases the heat transfer coefficient and thus enhances the overall heat transfer rate.
Thirdly, they provide support for the tubes, which can be susceptible to vibration and damage due to the high fluid velocities inside the exchanger.
Therefore, all options listed in the question are correct.
