Hi,
Currently I am in my final year doing chemical engineering.Were a given a project to design a styrene plant.We are required to do manual calculation and also simulation.
Is there any spreadsheet for material and energy balance of fractional distillation column?I have difficulties to draw x-y graph (ethylbenzene-styrene) to find no of plates as the boiling points of this two components are very near..Is there any ways to separate two components which have almost similar boiling point.
How to reduce no of plates fr this column.
