Dear All,
Q1. I would like to understand, how to finalize the top and bottom temperatures of the distillation column?
From my understanding the top temperature should be the above the dew point of the overhead vapor composition.
Bottom reboiler outlet temperature is based on the bottom products composition bubble point temperature and boil-up ratio, From bubble point of bottom product to %vaporization needed decides the temperature point in between its bubble and dew point of the mixture.
Kindly guide. Any references in evaluation of top and bottom temperatures in the columns helps. Thanks.
