GUI for distillation columns: McCabe and Thiele Method.

GUI tool for estimating the theoretical number of plates of a distillation column

You are now following this Submission

This GUI uses a constant relative volatility (alpha) to estimate the equilibrium curve. From there, the GUI uses the "McCabe and Thiele Graphical Method" to estimate the ideal number of plates in the column.

A reference is provided in the GUI: look in Help/About.
