Packed towers, separations equimolal counterdiffusion

Consider the packed distillation tower shown in Figure 16-1. Only binary distillation with constant molal overflow (CMO) will be considered. Let A be the more volatile conponent and B the less volatile component. In addition to making L/V constant and satisfying the energy balances, CMO automatically requires equimolal counterdiffusion, = -Ng. Thus, CMO sinplifies the mass balances, eliminates the need to solve the energy balances, and simplifies the mass transfer equations. We will also assume perfect plug flow of the liquid and vapor. This means that there is no eddy mixing to reduce the separation.
