What is Distillation Process?

Distillation is a process of separating two or more components utilizing the application of heat that would exploit differences in their relative volatility. In other words, the distillation process involves converting a liquid into a vapour that is subsequently condensed back to liquid form and herby separates one component from another.

What is Mass Transfer?

Mass transfer is the transport of components under a chemical potential gradient. The component moves in the direction of reducing concentration gradient. The transport occurs from a region of higher concentration to a lower concentration.
