I would like to know the definition of sensitive temperature in distillation.
Thanks.

I think you may refer to the temperature on a tray or at a specific location in the column that would change a lot if the purity at one end or both ends changes, and that may be used for control

...u have sensitive and latent heat

...latent heat is heat from vaporatisation,condensation,melting etc ( T=const)...rest is sensitive heat

Guest:

The correct terminology is "sensible" heat rather than "sensitive" heat. In any event, I think that Abhagat60 (who started this thread) was asking about something other than sensible heat.

PLEASE, in your future postings to this forum, spell out "you" rather than using simply "u".
