The Simulation of Multi-Component Distillation

Edward Charles DeLand, M. B. Wolf

ResearchPublished 1962

Part of a continuing Rand study in the simulation of steady-state chemical processes. A new method is proposed for the simulation of multicomponent petroleum distillation columns. This method takes advantage of the power of mathematical programming techniques for computing the equilibrium states of physiochemical processes.
