Feed Q-Value in Distillation Column Formula Elements

Variables
Q-value in Mass Transfer
The Q-value in Mass Transfer is defined as the moles of liquid flow in the stripping section that results from the introduction of each mole of feed.
Symbol: q
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Heat Required to Convert Feed to Saturated Vapor
The heat required to convert feed to saturated vapor is the enthalpy difference between the saturated vapor enthalpy of the feed and feed enthalpy at inlet.
Symbol: Hv-f
Measurement: Energy Per MoleUnit: J/mol
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Molal Latent Heat of Vaporization of Saturated Liq
The Molal Latent Heat of Vaporization of saturated liquid is the difference in enthalpy of saturated vapor and saturated liquid of the feed.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: Energy Per MoleUnit: J/mol
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
