Theoretically calculated diameter of the stripping section of the continuous rectification column is ______________ that of the enriching section?
Correct answer: A. More than
- A. More than
- B. Less than
- C. Same as
- D. Either more or less (depending upon relative volatility
Explanation
The stripping section commonly requires a larger diameter because its higher liquid traffic can increase the hydraulic loading and downcomer requirement compared with the enriching section. This is the usual design result under standard continuous-distillation assumptions.
