Variables
Functions
Number of Stages
The Number of Stages is defined as the Ideal number of stages required to achieve the desired separation.
Symbol: N
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Solute Free Mole Fraction of Gas in Inlet
The Solute Free Mole Fraction of Gas in Inlet is the mole fraction of the Solute in the Gas stream entering the column on solute free basis.
Symbol: YN+1
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Equilibrium Constant for Mass Transfer
The Equilibrium constant for Mass Transfer is the proportionality constant between gas phase mole fraction and liquid phase mole fraction and could be given as the ratio between the two.
