The influence of the number of plates on the simulation results
Thread Content
When simulating a distillation column, is it necessary to input the theoretical plates? Is it okay to input the actual number of plates instead?
It is also possible to enter the actual number of theoretical plates plus the plate efficiency.
It’s not necessary. It’s essentially a model; forget about calculating the actual number of plates from the theoretical number. You can also treat the theoretical number of plates as the actual number, and simply input the overall column efficiency.
