The ratio of Murphree plate efficiency to point efficiency is 1 in a ______________________ flow model?

Correct answer: B. Perfectly mixed

  • A. Plug
  • B. Perfectly mixed
  • C. Both A. & B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

In a perfectly mixed flow model, the composition is uniform across the tray, so the local point efficiency equals the overall Murphree plate efficiency and their ratio is one. In plug flow, composition changes along the tray, so the efficiencies generally differ.
