What is the number of baffles in the shell side if the baffle spacing is 6cm and Length of the setup is 90cm?

What is the number of baffles in the shell side if the baffle spacing is 6cm and Length of the setup is 90cm? Correct Answer 14

The number of baffles is defined as N, where N+1 = L/B = 90/6 = 15, hence N = 14.
