McCabe-Thiele Distillation Calculator
How to Use:
- Enter the system's Relative Volatility (α), a measure of how easily the components separate.
- Provide the mole fractions of the more volatile component in the Feed (zF), Distillate (xD), and Bottoms (xB) streams.
- Select the Feed Condition (q), which describes the thermal state of the feed stream.
- Enter the desired Reflux Ratio (R). The calculator will validate it against the minimum reflux ratio.
- Click "Generate Diagram". The numerical results and the graphical McCabe-Thiele diagram will be displayed.
- Click "Show Details" for a full breakdown of the theory, formulas, and step-by-step calculations.
