What is Horizontal vs. Vertical Baffles in Heat Exchangers about?

The orientation of baffles in a shell and tube heat exchanger, whether horizontal or vertical, impacts heat transfer rate and pressure drop. Horizontal baffles generally provide higher heat transfer but higher pressure drop. They prevent stratification with single-phase shell fluids. Vertical baffles simplify two-pass exchangers and allow condensate to fall, but are best for minimizing pressure drop, especially with shell-side gases. The optimal choice depends on the process characteristics and design goals
