Which of the following is not a graphical method (but is an analytical method) for the calculation of theoretical number of stages in case of continuous binary distillation ?

Correct answer: A. Sorel-Lewis method

  • A. Sorel-Lewis method
  • B. McCabe-Thiele's method
  • C. Ponchon-Savarit method
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Sorel-Lewis is an analytical stage-calculation method, whereas McCabe-Thiele and Ponchon-Savarit determine stages graphically. The distinction is that Sorel-Lewis uses equations or summation rather than operating-line construction.
