Abstract

The effect of random and systematic errors in the determination of the equilibrium temperature on the phase composition in isobaric L-G equilibria was simulated on five binary systems with different size and relative volatility. The impact of the inaccuracies on the calculated number of theoretical stages of a continuously operating rectification column is discussed with respect to the different operating conditions of the separatory process.
