This term is used for distilation operation.Reflx ratio is
the ratio of two quantities i.e. distilled material being
removed out of system to distilled material but being
recycled to the system again. This is done mainly for
imrpoving purity of distilled material.

Answer / atul

The reflux ratio is the ratio of the quantity of distilled material returns to the column to quantity of distillate.
One can operate the distillation column without calculating reflux ratio, but the main purpose of it is to improve the efficiency of the distillate.

Answer / dara charandeep

reflux ratio is not only
the ratio of reflux to
distillate...it is for both
for purity of distill
product and to maintain
temperature in a column..

Answer / vasu g

reflux ratio is the ratio of reflux to the desired product

Question 83 - The United States of America Energy Information Administration reports the following emissions in million metric tons of carbon dioxide in the world for year 2012 : Natural gas : 6799, petroleum : 11695, coal : 13787. Coal-fired electric power generation emits around 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide for every megawatt hour generated, which is almost double the carbon dioxide released by a natural gas-fired electric plant per megawatt hour generated. If 1 metric ton = 1000 kg and 1 pound = 0.4536 kg, estimate the total energy generated by natural gas in the world for year 2012, in gigawatt hour.

CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE - EXAMPLE 2.5 : In a non-dilute absorber, the inlet gas stream consists of 8 mol % carbon dioxide in nitrogen. By contact with room temperature water at atmospheric pressure, 65 % of the carbon dioxide from a gas stream has been removed. (a) Find the mole ratio of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases at inlet and outlet gas streams. (b) The Henry's Law provides y = 1640 x for carbon dioxide in water. Find the mole ratio when x = 0.0000427. Mole ratio is y / (1 - y) for y.
