Distillation

We solve a binary distillation problem using the solution of a Riccati equation. We find that four plates are needed to achieve the desired product purity. We also compute the number of stages with the classical approach by stepping off stages using the equilibrium curve and the operating line....

Solve for the transient stage compositons in an ideal binary distillation column using ode45.Source: (c) 1997 B. Wayne Bequette - 24 Jan 1997 revised 31 Dec 96http://www.rpi.edu/dept/chem-eng/WWW/facul.../MATLAB/mod_10/Modified by Giovani Tonel (giovani.tonel@ufrgs.br) October 2006

The control of both bottom and distillate compositions is achieved by using conventional two point feedback control (WoodandBerry1) and non-interacting control (WoodandBerry2). Because of coupling, conventional control has a poorer performance when compared to the non interacting control system....

This GUI uses a constant relative volatility (alpha) to estimate the equilibrium curve. From there, the GUI uses the "McCabe and Thiele Graphical Method" to estimate the ideal number of plates in the column.A reference is provided in the GUI: look in Help/About.Comments, suggestions or bugs,...

We use a batch column with four theoretical plates to separate a binary mixture of water and methanol at 1 bar. Temperature and concentration profiles versus time are obtained for a reflux ratio equal to 10. In addition, the total moles in the still and distillate are plotted versus time. This...
