Answer 1

only upto 70% efficient

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
There's no constant value for thermal efficiency of steam distillation. But mostly it's efficiency ranges from 70-80 %.


● Steam distillation -
- Steam distillation is a special type of distillation for temperature sensitive materials like natural aromatic compounds.
- The water vapor carries small amounts of the vaporized compounds to the condensation flask, where the condensed liquid phase separates, allowing easy collection.

Hope this helps you...
