For a binary mixture distillation process, the degree of freedom is 2. However, if the pressure is fixed in this process, the number of independent variables in this process will be ___________________?

Correct answer: A. 1

  • A. 1
  • B. 0
  • C. 2
  • D. 3

Explanation

A binary distillation system has two independent variables when pressure is allowed to vary. Fixing the pressure removes one degree of freedom, leaving one independent variable, commonly the composition or temperature.
