Commentary:
Among the different types of calculations used to calculate the minimum
reflux it is possible to see that both values calculated analytically and by
Underwood equation are equal, showing that the two methods are equivalent
and correct. The reflux ratio provided by DSTWU was slightly below that
calculated by other methods; however, this should have a different mathematical
model. The minimum reflux calculated graphically was superior to other values;
however, the graph does not have a very high accuracy, and can affect the
entire significance of the calculation.
In relation to the number of stages, the DSTWU and plot McCabe-Thiele
obtained similar values, however the value obtained by the equation of Fenske
was superior. The value obtained by the equation of Fenske was calculated from
the relative volatility found in Hirata et al, however the number of stages was
calculated using the base of Aspen, which as mentioned in task 1 that has a
lower relative volatility than Hirata et al. It is possible to conclude again that the
risks to sub design a column using data from Aspen or over design using the
data Hirata et al, which in both cases can be negative, spending a lot of energy is
needless, or even failing to obtain the desired separation.
