What is the reflux ratio at total reflux ?
Correct answer: B. Infinity
- A. Zero
- B. Infinity
- C. Unity
- D. Data insufficient
Explanation
At total reflux, all condensed overhead liquid is returned to the column and no distillate is withdrawn. Since the distillate withdrawal approaches zero while reflux remains finite, the reflux ratio becomes infinite.
