Relationship between distillation tower outlet temperature and distillate volume
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: if the composition of the feed to the distillation column changes and the composition of one of the side streams increases, while the product quality remains unchanged and the pressure in the distillation column stays constant, will the distillation temperature of that side stream increase due to the increased amount of distillate?
It’s best to use simple diagrams for such questions; explaining things with visuals makes it more intuitive. Furthermore, the operation of the equipment must be explored within the specified process conditions. For reference.
Under normal circumstances, the temperature rises as the flow rate increases.
