(6.11) A shell-and-tube heat exchanger has the following configuration: The shell-side fluid is a gas with the following properties: (a) Estimate values for the tube-to-baffle clearance, shell-to-baffle clearance, and shell-to-bundle diametral clearance. (b) Use the Delaware method to calculate the shell-side heat-transfer coefficient. (c) Use the Delaware method to calculate the nozzle-to-nozzle pressure drop for the shell-side fluid
