Ponchon-Savarit method analyses the fractional equipment based on___________________?

Correct answer: C. Both enthalpy and material balances

  • A. Enthalpy balance only
  • B. Material balance only
  • C. Both enthalpy and material balances
  • D. The assumption of constant molal-overflow

Explanation

The Ponchon-Savarit method uses enthalpy-composition diagrams, so it simultaneously applies component material balances and total enthalpy balances. Constant molal overflow is the simplifying basis of the McCabe-Thiele method, not Ponchon-Savarit.
