Analysis of Packed Distillation Columns with a Rate-based Model
Multicomponent packed column distillation is simulated using a rate-based model and the simulation results are compared with the experimental results obtained from a 0.2 m diameter pilot-scale packed column. The simulation algorithm used is previously proposed by the authors, which based on an equation-tearing method for (6c+7) equations of one packing segment and the whole column is solved by an iterative segmentwise calculation with the overall normalized θ method for acceleration. The performance of two packings is examined by simulating the pilot-scale column experiments using the published correlations for estimating liquid and vapor phase mass transfer coefficients and a effective interfacial area.
