Question

13.20 If fouling takes place, he is going to be higher, and for the same heat transfer, the
surface area should be:
(a) increased
(b) decreased
(c) unchanged​

Answer 1

Answer:

a - Increased

Explanation:

Fouling is unwanted accumulation of organic or inorganic things on the Heat exchanger, pipeline etc. then the efficiency got reduced as the surface area got decreased. so to maintain the efficiency surface area should be increased.
