How to caliculate the boil up rate, dia and height in both packed and tray distillation columns and..

Answer / Sagar Agnihotri

Calculating the boil-up rate (BUR), diameter, and height for packed and tray distillation columns involves complex engineering calculations. Here's a simplified overview:

1. Identify the key variables such as feed flow rate, temperature, and composition; product flow rates, temperatures, and compositions; and column dimensions (diameter and height).
2. Choose the appropriate mathematical model for packed or tray columns based on your design requirements. For packed columns, you can use the HETP (Height Equivalent to a Theoretical Plate) method, while for tray columns, you can use the McCabe-Thiele diagram or the Batch Distillation Simulator.
3. Input the variables into the chosen model and perform the calculations to determine the column dimensions and boil-up rate.
4. Consult reference books like Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook or Design of Distillation Columns by R. H. Baty for detailed explanations, examples, and advanced techniques.

According to Shockley equation, the I – V characteristic of a diode is approximated by I = IS [ exp (nVD / VT) – 1 ]. For silicon, let the reverse bias saturation current IS as 0.000000000001. If n is ideality factor with value of 1.5, VT as thermal voltage drop of 0.026 V at room temperature, what is the value of current I that passes through the silicon diode in the heater of evaporator when the forward voltage drop VD = 0.026 V? Please take note that exp is the exponential function with e(1) = 2.718, e(2) = 7.389.
