Which of the following efficiencies can be greater than 100% ?
Correct answer: A. Murphree plate efficiency
- A. Murphree plate efficiency
- B. Overall plate efficiency
- C. Point efficiency
- D. None of these
Explanation
Murphree plate efficiency can exceed 100% because the exiting vapor or liquid may reach a composition beyond the equilibrium value used in the efficiency definition. Overall and point efficiencies are not normally reported as greater than 100%.
