Vapor Reflux based on Boil-Up Ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Boil-Up Flowrate to the Distillation Column
The Boil-Up Flowrate to the Distillation Column is the vapour's molar flowrate, leaving the reboiler back into the distillation column.
Symbol: V
Measurement: Molar Flow RateUnit: mol/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Boil-Up Ratio
The Boil-Up Ratio is defined as the ratio of molar flowrate of vapour leaving the reboiler back into the column to the molar flowrate of liquid drawn out as bottom product.
Symbol: Rv
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Residue Flowrate from Distillation Column
The Residue flowrate from Distillation Column is the amount of moles of bottom liquid product (Residue) flowing out from the column per unit time.
Symbol: W
Measurement: Molar Flow RateUnit: mol/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
