McCabe-Thiele method________________?
Correct answer: A. Uses molal units for material and energy balance
- A. Uses molal units for material and energy balance
- B. Uses weight fractions to express liquid and vapour composition
- C. Can use any type of units
- D. Is more accurate than Ponchon-Savarit method
Explanation
The McCabe-Thiele construction is based on mole balances and the constant-molal-overflow assumption, so liquid and vapour compositions are handled in molal or mole-fraction terms. It is not inherently more accurate than the Ponchon-Savarit method.
