Hi,
I've done a preliminary design of a distillation column and now im trying to find the diameter, however all the equations to calculate this involves a vapour flow rate. But the problem is i only have glycerol in the bottoms at 225C, so it would still be a liquid and the distillate (Propylene Glycol) is at 134C, so i have no vapour in my distillation column.
So i was wondering if there was a way to calculate the diameter with these conditions, or would i have to make an educated guess and adjust based on the type of packing and my pressure drop?
Anything would help
Thanks
