Abstract

A quantitative comparison between Murphree and vaporization efficiencies is presented based on ternary distillation data for the systems acetone/methanol/ethanol, acetone/benzene/chlorobenzene, benzene/toluene/mxylene and n-hexane/methylcyclopentane/benzene. The influence of experimental errors on calculated values of Murphree efficiencies is also analysed. It is shown that the vaporization efficiency model fails to describe the behaviour of distillation plates and it is suggested that Murphree's model gives a more useful representation of the behaviour of distillation columns.
