When the feed to a distillation column is a saturated liquid, slope of the feed line is_____________________?
Correct answer: C. Infinity
- A. Zero
- B. Unity
- C. Infinity
- D. None of these
Explanation
For a saturated-liquid feed, q = 1, and the q-line slope q/(q - 1) becomes infinite. Thus, the feed line is vertical on the McCabe-Thiele diagram.
