What I gather from different sources about these rectifying and stripping indexes is that their value differs from 0.5 to 20 (higher values indicating more efficient separation). The values correspond to the number of theoretical plates in the separation .
Stripping FI is relating to amount of heavier cut into the lighter cut and rectifying FI is relating to amount of lighter cut into the heavier cut.
I have got the distillation data for the cuts of the CDU VDU columns.
Now how do i calculate the ECPs and rectifying and stripping FIs.
