Abstract: | A distillation tower algorithm which accounts for two liquid phases on some trays is presented. The major assumptions being made are constant molal overflow, uniform pressure across the tower, ideality of the vapour phase and 100% tray efficiencies. A simplified inside—-out technique is used to achieve convergence to the steady-state solution. In an inner loop vapour and average liquid compositions are calculated. In the outer loop an efficient phase-splitting algorithm developed by the authors is used where necessary to calculate estimates of the liquid-liquid equilibrium compositions. In this outer loop volatility parameters are also updated.Simulation results for example problem 2 by Block and Hegner compare well with those reported by these authors. |
