Will high-temperature materials flowing in the shell side increase the size of the heat exchanger?

Does using high temperatures in the shell side increase the size of the heat exchanger compared to using them in the tube side? Can anyone analyze this by combining Q=K*A*△T?
The selection of hot and cold medium circuits is primarily based on economic feasibility. Compared to high-temperature operation in the tube side, high-temperature operation in the shell side results in a change in the heat exchange area, which is reflected in the diameter or length of the heat exchanger.
Compared to high-temperature operation in the tube side, when high-temperature operation is used on the shell side, the physical structure of the heat exchanger remains unchanged; then why does the heat exchange area change?
