SmnmarymIn general, multivariable control systems are too complex for even a qualitative description of their behaviour. However, for linear two-variable control systems with two control lOOps, the situation is more favourable. In this article, the influence of one loop on the other is deduced from

✦ Synopsis
Sin-mary--The theory developed in part I is applied to the following two-variable control systems for distillation columns:
(a) pressure control by condenser cooling, and temperature control by reboiler heating; (b) overhead quality control by reflux, and bottom quality control by reboiler heating. Approximation formulae are derived for the interaction quotient x. These are compared to results from a simulation on an analogue computer. Moreover, attention is paid to the effect of vapour flow variations on the liquid overflow, and its influcmce on the interaction. Finally, various ways of avoiding unfavourable interaction are discussed and compared.

## Abstract In this work, the effect of vapor load and initial feed concentrations on column efficiency and liquid hold‐up in a two‐ and three‐phase packed distillation column at total reflux was investigated. Results for the two investigated mixtures (__n__‐heptane, __n__‐hexane, water) and (ethyl
