McCabe-Thiele Distillation with Constant Relative Volatility

A code that automatically computes the required number of plates, optimal feed plate, and minimum number of plates at Const. Rel. Volatility

System: Binary

Design method: McCabe-Thiele

Condition: Distillation with Constant Relative Volatility

Required User inputs:

-Feed amount (in mol)

-Mole fraction of More Volatile Component (MVC) in Feed, Distillate, and Bottoms

-Relative volatility of system

-External Reflux Ratio (R or Lo/D)

-q value for q line

Outputs:

-number of plates required at the given reflux ratio

-optimal feed plate

-minimum number of plates at total reflux

-McCabe-Thiele Plot at the given reflux ratio

-McCabe-Thiele Plot at total reflux
