Trajectory Bundles Under Infinite Reflux Distillation Diagrams

Trajectory Bundles Under Infinite Reflux Distillation Diagrams 

The distillation process under infinite reflux is described by Eqs. (2.3) and (2.6) and is illustrated in the composition space by the trajectory being the interconnected tie-lines (the end of one tie-line serves as a beginning of another tie-line when moving upward from the column bottom). 

A concentration profile (xb xd) under infinite reflux for an ideal mixture is 

For an ideal mixture, the whole concentration triangle is filled with one bundle of trajectories (the trajectory direction toward the temperature increases as is shown
