Why are full helical coils so common in industries?
Provides large surface area
Mechanically stable
Very cheap to install
Handles highly corrosive substances
Ringlet coils have a disadvantage. What is it?
Provides less surface area
Mechanically unstable
Very expensive to install
Leaves unmixed areas
When a highly corrosive and reactive substance is used in operation, we prefer to use

Why are agitated vessels usually used in batch manufacture?
They are necessary to calculate batch cooling and heating times
Because batch processes occur in vessels
It avoids harmful reactions
It supports endothermic reactions
Heat transfer in agitated vessels can be carried out by
Jackets and plates
