Influence of Nonuniform Irrigation of Structured Packing on Heat and Mass Transfer in Distillation Column

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

It is known that nonuniform irrigation leads to a significant reduction in the productivity of column and a noticeable decrease in the quality of separation of mixtures. This work studies different ways of artificially-created nonuniform irrigation of packing. The results of these experiments are compared with the data for uniform irrigation of packing, all other things being equal.
