If the overall efficiency and Murphree plate efficiency are equal, then both the equilibrium and operating lines are_______________?
Correct answer: A. Both A. & B.
- A. Both A. & B.
- B. Parallel
- C. Straight
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
Equality of overall and Murphree efficiencies follows when the graphical stage relationships do not change from tray to tray. Straight, parallel equilibrium and operating lines provide that constant relationship.
