Reboiler is considered as one theoretical plate, because_____________________?
Correct answer: D. Of the assumption that vapour and liquid leaving the reboiler are in equilibrium
- A. None of these
- B. Vapour is recycled to the column
- C. Reboiler itself contains one plate
- D. Of the assumption that vapour and liquid leaving the reboiler are in equilibrium
Explanation
The reboiler is treated as one theoretical plate because its exiting vapour and liquid are assumed to reach equilibrium. This gives the same separation effect as one ideal stage.
