What is the value of 'q' for saturated vapor feed to a distillation column? (where q = fraction of the feed stream that is liquid ?
Correct answer: A. 0
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 1
Explanation
For saturated vapor, the entire feed is vapor, so the liquid fraction q is zero. In contrast, saturated liquid has q = 1, which is the common source of confusion.
