Distillation of a Complex Mixture. Part II: Performance Analysis of a Distillation Column Using Exergy

To analyze the performance of the separation process, we have introduced the thermodynamic concept of exergy through the exergetic efficiency of the column. The simulation results show that the exergetic output is relatively low and that the produced irreversibility fluxes are distributed throughout the whole column in a non-uniform manner. They are particularly significant in the condenser, bo...

Multicomponent Distillation Configurations with Large Energy Savings

In industry, many separation processes involve the separation of multicomponent mixtures using distillation. There are many distillation configurations that can carry out the same overall separation process. These configurations use an equal number of distillation columns, but they differ significantly in energy consumption. Therefore a major challenge for a practitioner is the identification o...

New Method for Designing Distillation Columns of Multicomponent Mixtures

This paper presents a series of calculation procedures for computer design of ternary distillation columns overcoming the iterative equilibrium calculations necessary in these kind of problems and, thus, reducing the calculation time. The proposed procedures include interpolation and intersection methods to solve the equilibrium equations and the mass and energy balances. The calculation progra...

Reliability of Repairable Multicomponent Redundant System

This investigation deals with transient analysis of cold standby system with n units . Chapman-Kolmogorov equations are developed for repair facility with two repairmen and solved by using matrix technique. Availability and reliability factors have been obtained with probability of the system. A particular case has also been discussed.
