Notes:
A computer method has been developed to calculate the minimum reflux rate for a specified distillation separation. The method makes no unnecessary simplifying assumptions of the distillation process model. The limitation of the method is that it cannot solve problems in which the minimum reflux rate is determined by a point of tangent between the operating line and the equilibrium line on a McCabe-Thiele diagram (see Figure 1).
