Lewis Matheson Method: Feed Plate

Matching
The correction method of Bonner can be used to establish
a new value of D, di, and xiD,

Where (xF)T and (xF)B = Liquid compositions calculated

from the
top and bottom of the column,
respectively
di, bi
= the former moles of individual
component
in
the distillate and
bottoms
diN, biN
= the new values
Repetitive calculations are carried out by readjusting the
mole of components in the distillate and bottoms until the
agreement at the feed plate is met.
