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.
