Plate efficiency in a distillation column is reduced due to the ______________________ of liquid?
Correct answer: A. All A., B. & C.
- A. All A., B. & C.
- B. Foaming
- C. Weeping & dumping
- D. Entrainment
Explanation
Entrainment, foaming, and weeping or dumping all cause poor vapour-liquid contact or bypassing on trays. Each therefore lowers the effective plate efficiency.
