Question

Mccabe thiele method for determination of theoretical plate count of a fractionating column

Answer 1

Answer:

In the simplest case, the McCabe-Thiele Method to determine the number of theoretical stages follows the steps below:

• Analysis of the Rectifying section, and determine the ROL using xD and R
• Analysis of the Feed section, and determine the feed condition (q)
• Determination of the feed line (q-line) using xF and q
• Locate the intersection point between ROL and q-line
• Analysis of the Stripping Section, and determine the SOL using (4) and xB
