Questions regarding the Tianjin University version of the professional examination for registered chemical engineers

Thread Content

On page 207 of the Tianjin University version of the exam for registered chemical engineers, regarding the calculation of the effective height of a tower, it is given that Z = (NP–1) × HT. Why is 1 subtracted from the actual number of plates? I checked the Tianjin University version of the textbook and there was no subtraction of 1 there – is there some difference here? Could everyone please explain it?

It’s easy to figure out: a board with 2 pieces has only 1 HT, one with 3 pieces has 2 HTs; a board with NP pieces has NP-1 HTs. Hehe, so it needs to be reduced

I have encountered the same doubt as well; I hope someone with more knowledge can offer guidance.
