Design calculation for multiple component distillation is done by_________________?
Correct answer: D. Tray to tray calculations
- A. Ponchon-Savarit method
- B. McCabe-Thiele method
- C. Enthalpy concentration method
- D. Tray to tray calculations
Explanation
Multicomponent distillation requires component-by-component material balances and equilibrium calculations from tray to tray. McCabe-Thiele is mainly a graphical method for binary systems, whereas Ponchon-Savarit is generally used for binary systems with enthalpy effects.
