Flooding in a distillation column is detected by a sharp ___________________?
Correct answer: A. Increase in pressure drop
- A. Increase in pressure drop
- B. Decrease in pressure drop
- C. Decrease in liquid hold up in the column
- D. Increase in Murphree plate efficiency
Explanation
Flooding causes excessive liquid accumulation and resistance to vapour flow in the column. The resulting sharp rise in hydraulic resistance is observed as a sharp increase in pressure drop.
