How to perform a sensitivity analysis to make the feed plate proportional to the theoretical plate?
Thread Content
As stated in the title, a sensitivity analysis is being conducted to determine the minimum reflux ratio for a certain tower (this value is already specified in the design to meet the separation requirements). The minimum reflux ratio is determined by calculating the values of the reflux ratio for different numbers of theoretical plates. And when the number of theoretical plates of the tower changes, its feed position also necessarily changes accordingly. So how can this sensitivity analysis be carried out under the condition that the feed position/theoretical number of plates in the tower = constant value? PS: Tried the calculator module; it failed. Is there any experienced professional who has succeeded in this area who could offer some advice? A generous reward will surely be given! :)
Using sensitivity analysis, it is quite complex to ensure convergence for each condition. Use DSTWU to directly select a few numbers of plates and the feed plate, then calculate the minimum reflux ratio
