Fenske equation determines the __________________?
Correct answer: A. Minimum number of theoretical plates
- A. Minimum number of theoretical plates
- B. Height of the distillation column
- C. Maximum number of ideal plates
- D. Optimum reflux ratio
Explanation
The Fenske equation calculates the minimum number of theoretical stages at total reflux for a specified separation. It does not directly give the actual plate number, column height or optimum reflux ratio.
