The reference I am following 

https://www.ou.edu/c... of Freedom.pdf

 

So according to the reference we have two degrees of freedom 

 

So if is specify number of stages and and feed locations are the systems fully defined?

 

So in my case I have strict feed concertation A & B

Distillate purity defined 0.99

Bottom  purity defined 0.99

 

So that means I have only two variable to play with No of stages and feed locations, I will get Reboiler duty and condenser duty out of the.

 

The partial condenser that I have will just add (one) stages to both no of  equations available and total no of variables.

 

 

Now for absorption column

 

 

 

Feed locations are fixed But I can change the solvent concentration and flowrates and no of stages. To calculate the column cost.

 

The purity of top product C 0.99 and bottom products D0.99 are fixed. 

 

Hear I Also see two degree of freedom 

 

Ami I correct??

There are English grammar problems in your post that make it difficult to understand. Practically, the purities of your products are NOT fixed. Think of a real distillation column and how the measurements might vary for product quality. What would an operator change to get the specs desired? Those are your degrees of freedom.
