Batch Distillation Column MultiBD

Skogestad et al. (1997) simulated a MultiBD column with a similar to type III model using a total reflux operation. The input data for the column is presented in Table 4.15.

Figure 2.3. Multivessel Batch Distillation Column (MultiBD)...

Referring to Figure 2.3 of multivessel batch distillation (MultiBD) column, the model equations for condenser, reboiler and internal plates are the same as those presented for conventional batch distillation column (section 4.2). The model equations for the vessels are the same as those presented for feed tank of the MVC column (section 4.3.3). Note however, that there are no feed plate model equations as in the case of an MVC column.
