AbstractBinary distillation in continuous contact equipment is modeled as a simultaneous heat and mass transfer process. In order to account for the interactions between heat and mass transfer between the two phases, the equations developed from enthalpy and material balances are analyzed simultaneo

✦ Synopsis
A theoretlcal study of sunultaneous heat and mass transfer m bmary dlstdlation has shown that heat and mass transfer coefficients can be appropnately evaluated If hqud phase temperatures and compositions are measured as funcuons of herght m a column In tlus study, the expenments were camed out m a wetted-wall column usmg a methanol-water bmary system at one atmosphere Specml probes were deslgned to deternune the state of the hquld phase Temperatures were measured with mlcrothermocouples and liquid samples were analyzed with a high preckslon refractometer The lrquld phase was found to be saturated which mdlcated, m accordance with the conclusions from a theoretical study, that all the resistance to mass transfer was m the vapor phase Local transfer coefficients were calculated usmg the composition data as a function of column height The results were correlated by an equation showmg close agreement wrth the Chllton-Colbum equatron % = 0 ()39ScY-2f~ReY-0 2o cm-' It LS concluded that mass transfer m the vapor phase LS the controlhng remstance m dtshllatlon and that there IS no additional evaporation wlthm the hquld phase caused by heat transferred from the vapor phase as proposed by some previous investigators
