The difference between Murphree efficiency and Vaporization efficiency
Thread Content
In Aspen calculations, there are two types of plate efficiency: Murphree efficiency and Vaporization efficiency. In our previous studies on chemical engineering principles, we generally used the Murphree efficiency. So what is the difference between the vaporization efficiency and Murphree efficiency, and how is it applied?
The vaporization efficiency should refer to the point efficiency; I’m not sure which textbook on chemical engineering principles you are using, but in general textbooks, detailed definitions of these two types of efficiency are provided for tray efficiency.
It’s also available in Hysys; I’m not sure where to find it.
