Plate efficiency_______________________?
Correct answer: A. Is a function of the mass transfer between liquid and vapour
- A. Is a function of the mass transfer between liquid and vapour
- B. Increases due to foaming
- C. Increases due to liquid entrainment
- D. Increases due to weeping and dumping of liquid
Explanation
Plate efficiency depends on the rates of mass transfer between the liquid and vapour phases, as well as tray hydraulics. Entrainment, weeping, and dumping generally reduce efficiency rather than increase it.
