what is the difference between distillation column and distillation tower?..

Answer / ramana reddy

distillation columns are operated at different feed rates
as well as different steam pressures, but distillation
towers are operated at stedy state conditions only (
constant reflux, stem, feed )

what is the difference between distillation column and distillation tower?..

Answer / tauseef

column has no inside space bcz it is completely solidy like
during construction civil engineer make concrete column
while tower has a inside space..like FL tower, IT tower...

regarding chemical engineering
in column reflux is used to increase the purity of overhead
product
while in tower no reflux is used.

Question 86 - (a) Male with genotype GGmm and phenotype gray wingless mates with female with genotype ggMM and phenotype black winged in fruit flies. G is dominant to g in color. M is dominant to m in wing shape. If the actual distribution of the second generation of the fruit flies was as follow : 890 gray wingless, 900 black winged, 115 gray winged, 95 black wingless, calculate the recombination frequency betwen the two genes and distance in recombination units. Let 1 map unit = 1 % recombination. (b) A DNA molecule has 180 base pairs and 20 % adenine. How many cytosine nucleotides are present in this molecule of DNA?

Question 44 - In a non-dilute absorber, graphical method is used to represent the process. In an X - Y coordinate system, X-axis represents mole of carbon dioxide / mole of water and Y axis represents mole of carbon dioxide / mole of nitrogen. The inlet gas stream consists of 8 mol % of carbon dioxide in nitrogen. (a) Find the S / G minimum as a slope that goes through the point (0, 0.0304) and (0.0000488, 0.086957). (b) Find the actual slope of operating line when it is 1.5 times the S / G minimum! (c) Find the value of x for inlet gas stream when y = 1640 x, y is mole fraction of carbon dioxide in nitrogen.
