Answer / u k pardeshi
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..

Hi, I want to validate an analytical procedure of a specified impurity, but this impurity is unavailable for me. can I use the API instead of impurity in the linearity test? in Which reference can I find such information?
PROCESS DESIGN - EXAMPLE 21.2 : The names of the flow streams could be represented by : H1 for first hot stream, H2 for second hot stream, C1 for first cold stream, C2 for second cold stream. Data of supply temperature Ts in degree Celsius : 150 for H1, 170 for H2, 30 for C1, 30 for C2. Data of target temperature Tt in degree Celsius : 50 for H1, 169 for H2, 150 for C1, 40 for C2. Data of heat capacity Cp in kW / degree Celsius : 3 for H1, 360 for H2, 3 for C1, 30 for C2. (a) Find the enthalpy changes, dH for all streams of flow H1, H2, C1 and C2 in the unit of kW. Take note of the formula dH = (Cp) (Tt - Ts). (b) Match the hot streams H1 and H2 with the suitable cold streams C1 and C2 to achieve the maximum energy efficiency.
