Now we know the flow rate, temperature, and composition entering the tower; Components to be obtained at the tower top, temperature, pressure, flow rate ; The bottom of the tower requires information on composition, temperature, pressure, and flow rate. When using a packed tower, how to calculate the height and diameter of the distillation tower, the reflux ratio, the packing height, and the feed position – with an EXCEL spreadsheet. It’s better to explain in more detail! ! ! It’s best to enter numbers to perform the calculation! ! ! reward_7ree

If you know the components, you can simply use software for the calculations; as long as the property data in the software package is accurate. It seems that those browsing the internet at the moment don’t yet have the skill to perform such calculations using Excel

Process simulation software can calculate the results you want; it’s rare to use Excel for such calculations, and moreover, Excel isn’t suitable for conducting sensitivity analysis

It can be simulated and calculated using Aspen Plus

How many relationships would that require? It’s too complicated; it’s basically impossible with tables

For the simplest binary system, following the steps in the textbook will work. It’s best to find information on your own; creating something by yourself also has its value.

This requires calculation; based on the material and energy balances, it is necessary to determine the required energy and losses, as well as the states of the gas and liquid phases within each tower at a certain height, along with the patterns of energy transfer. It is also necessary to know and calculate the specific heat and heat of fusion of its medium. Wait
