Effect of entrained liquid on the efficiency of completely mixed plates

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    An equation for the “apparent” plate efficiency coefficient of completely mixed plates in columns operated with entrained liquid has been derived.

  2. 2.

    A method of calculating the number of completely mixed plates is proposed, and an equation for the mean plate efficiency coefficient has been derived; the effect of entrained liquid is taken into account, and the optimum amount entrained can be predicted.

  3. 3.

    It has been proved that the effect of entrained liquid on the separation process is stronger as the m/R ratio is lower. The effect of entrained liquid may manifest itself particularly strongly if the column contains rather inefficient plates.
