Introduction to Distillation in Chemical Engineering
Singh Mittal, Shikha / Mittal, Ankit / Agarwal, Neha
This book investigates the effect of tray spacing on the dimensions, head losses and flooding tendencies in a sieve - tray distillation column. The system under consideration was chosen to be a 50:50 mole % mixture of methanol and water at its boiling point. The saturated liquid feed is separated into products streams of 99.5 mole % purity. For a given sieve tray (holes arranged in a triangular pitch) with fixed specifications of hole diameter...
