Heat Pumping, Vapor Recompression, and Reboiler Flashing

Heat Pumping, Vapor Recompression, and Reboiler Flashing 

For a detailed analysis of the reboiler-flashing configuration, which is usually the most financially attractive of the three configurations, the reader is referred to Example 9.4, in which the lost work and thermodynamic efficiency are computed for the separation of propylene and propane. Note that these configurations are most attractive for the separation of
