Which of the following assumes constant molal vaporisation and overflow ?
Correct answer: C. McCabe-Thiele method
- A. Enthalpy concentration method
- B. Ponchan-Savarit method
- C. McCabe-Thiele method
- D. Plate absorption column
Explanation
The McCabe-Thiele method uses the constant-molal-overflow assumption, allowing straight operating lines to be drawn on the x-y diagram. The Ponchon-Savarit method instead accounts for enthalpy changes directly.
