In the previous lecture, we discussed

<li class="fragment" data-fragment-index="1">
The overall column efficiency, $E_O$, is the ratio of
<b>ideal trays</b>
to
<b>real trays</b>
in the column.
</li>
<li class="fragment" data-fragment-index="2">
The Murphree tray efficiency, $E_M$, is the
effectiveness of a
<b>single real tray</b>
when compared to a
<b>ideal tray</b>.
</li>
<li class="fragment" data-fragment-index="3">
The Murphree point efficiency, $E_P$, is the
efficiency of a single point on a tray. This is only useful
when considering the flow on a tray in detail.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="fragment" data-fragment-index="4">
A constant Murphree tray efficiency is relatively easy
to use, forming an “effective”

This is the first example of a case where we have
different efficiencies for different parts of the column.

The bottom stage is usually a

$E_M=1.0$

On trays, you are

vapour and liquid

Let's double check how the overall efficiency works

We start off by calculating how many ideal stages are
required for the design.

Here we need around 2.6 ideal stages to perform the
separation.

But one ideal stage is provided by a re-boiler, so we
only need 1.6 ideal trays!
</li>

Assuming we have an overall efficiency of $E_O=0.4$,
this would give us
$1.6/0.4=4$
real stages and a reboiler
stage!

Contrast this to our previous design with a Murphree

Let's consider the distillation trays in a real

The tray's in a column will actually vary in type,
from random/structured packing, to sieve/valve/chimney trays.

They will vary as the viscosity of the column mixture
changes with concentration (compare the heavy components of
crude to the light paraffin's).

This means the efficiency will vary significantly in
the column.

in vapour and liquid flow rates in the stripping and
enrichment sections due to the addition of feed.

In the upper enrichment section, we might have a
higher efficiency due to the increased vapour flow-rates, and
lower liquid flow-rates resulting in longer liquid tray

Don't worry about the discontinuity, just make sure the
feed tray is on the stripping line and extend it if required
(but the plotting here is always sufficient). Starting from the
top we greatly over-design the column thanks to the ideal
reboiler stage.

In summary, for efficiencies:

<li>
Remember that the re-boiler is nearly ideal, so it
should always contact the
<span style="color:blue">
VLE line</span>.

<li class="fragment" data-fragment-index="1">
You can have varying tray efficiencies in the
column, and the simplest example of this is when the
enrichment and stripping efficiencies are different.
</li>
<li class="fragment" data-fragment-index="2">
Always start stepping from the bottom when using the
Murphree tray efficiency, as this uses the ideal re-boiler
stage to its maximum, and gives the minimum real-tray design.
