General Procedure to Design Equipment for the Thermal Separation of Mixtures

11 General Procedure to Design Equipment for the Thermal Separation of Mixtures 

The design of equipment for the thermal separation of mixtures and its integration into a whole separation unit for a chemical plant follows a certain procedure, shown in Table 1-19. 

In this book, the chemical engineering aspect of the design of separation equipment is discussed. Literature for stress calculations for parts of the plant may be found in the field of technical mechanics and plant construction [1.107], 

Correction using Murphree stage efficency coefficients determined experimentally Determination of the apparatus dimensions with respect to the flooding limit or based on the required mean residence time and residence time distribution.
