Computer teaching-aids for an undergraduate course in distillation

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

[Not copying properly] Four computer programs dealing with the following aspects of distillation are developed as an integrated teaching package. (1) Binary batch distillation in tray columns. (2) Binary continuous distillation in tray columns. (3) Binary continuous distillation in packed columns. (4) Multicomponent distillation in tray columns. A plotting program utilizing CALCOMP plotting software and hardware is developed for graphical.representation of the results generated by .the above routines. The following diagrams are included: (1) McCabe-Thiele x,y diagrams for batch and continuous distillation. (2) Ponchon-Savarit diagram for continuous distillation. (3) Temperature, flowrate, and composition profiles for multicomponent distillation.
