What is Stripping section and Rectifying section in Distillation Column?
In a distillation column, which is a key unit in chemical and petrochemical processes for separating liquid mixtures into their individual components, there are two main sections: the Stripping Section (also known as the Reboiler Section) and the Rectifying Section (also known as the Condenser Section). Location: The Stripping Section is located at the bottom of the distillation column. Function: The primary function of the Stripping Section is to vaporize the components with higher boiling points from the liquid mixture. This is achieved by providing heat, often through a reboiler, which causes the liquid to boil and generate vapor. The vapor rises through the column, carrying with it the less volatile components. Location: The Rectifying Section is situated at the top of the distillation column. Function: The primary function of the Rectifying Section is to condense the vapor rising from the Stripping Section back into liquid.
How to Calculate Rectifying Section Flowrate of Vapor for given Quality of Feed?
Rectifying Section Flowrate of Vapor for given Quality of Feed calculator uses Vapor Flowrate in Rectifying Section = Vapor Flowrate in Stripping Section-(Feed Quality-1)*Feed Flowrate to calculate the Vapor Flowrate in Rectifying Section, The Rectifying Section Flowrate of Vapor for given Quality of Feed formula is defined as molar flowrate of the vapor component that travels across the Rectifying section of a distillation column. Vapor Flowrate in Rectifying Section is denoted by Vn symbol.
How to calculate Rectifying Section Flowrate of Vapor for given Quality of Feed using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Rectifying Section Flowrate of Vapor for given Quality of Feed, enter Vapor Flowrate in Stripping Section (Vm), Feed Quality (q) & Feed Flowrate (F) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Rectifying Section Flowrate of Vapor for given Quality of Feed calculation can be explained with given input values -> 449.441 = 524.317-(1.345-1)*217.0318.
