A Fundamental Model of Mass Transfer in Multicomponent Distillation

4 A Fundamental Model of Mass Transfer in Multicomponent Distillation 

For multicomponent systems we may extend the hydrodynamic model described in Section 

The matrices of numbers of transfer units for each region of the froth may be obtained from their defining equation 

The matrices of multicomponent mass transfer coefficients in all three zones may be estimated using the procedure developed in Section 8.8. The overall mass transfer coefficient matrix for each zone may be obtained from Eq. 8.8.20 

Binary mass transfer coefficients for the vapor in the jetting-bubble formation zone may be computed from
