Column Still & Reflux
Full McCabe-Thiele style multi-stage column simulation, based on real VLE data — minimum stages, full column calculation, and the reflux trade-off.
Assumption: feed enters as saturated liquid (q=1).
Result
Minimum theoretical stages—
This is the absolute minimum, at total reflux (R=∞) — a real column needs more stages than this.
Result
Required theoretical stages—
Distillate yield (D/F)—
Minimum reflux (Rmin)—
