Optimization of the Process of Separation of a Ternary Mixture in a Cascade of Elements with Three Takeoffs

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Consideration has been given to the problem of separation of a ternary mixture in a cascade with an arbitrary scheme of connection of stages composed of elements with three takeoffs. A method of optimization of cascade schemes has been proposed that is based on numerical sorting of the concentrations of two components in one takeoff of the stages and an analytical calculation of the remaining parameters of the cascade. The method is applicable at large separation factors of the stages and any optimality criteria of the process of separation. A numerical experiment has been conducted on the basis of the characteristics of a model mixture; the distinctive features of optimization of various cascade schemes for the minimum criterion of the overall feed fl ow have been established.
