Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A mathematical model of the process of rectification of a multicomponent mixture on a bubble plate is presented. The transfer processes in the two‐phase gas–liquid flow are described using a two‐liquid model with account for the distinctive features of the phase interaction on the plate. The results of calculations according to the Young model are compared to the experimental data on the rectification of an n‐hexane–ethanol–methylcyclopentane–benzene mixture on a sieve plate 0.302 m in diameter.
