Plate efficiency AlChE method

The AlChE method of predicting plate efficiency, published in 1958, was the result of a 5-year study of bubble-cap plate efficiency directed by the Research Committee of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. 

The AlChE method is the most detailed method for predicting plate efficiencies that is available in the open literature. It takes into account all the major factors that are known to affect plate efficiency this includes... 

Chan and Eair (1984a) have published an alternative method for point efficiencies on sieve plates, which they demonstrate gives closer predictions than the AlChE method. 

For the plate design in Example 11.11, estimate the plate efficiency for the plate on which the concentration of acetone is 5 mol percent. Use the AlChE method.
