Plate n+1
For example if two fluid enter plate n and two leave it,
the liquid, Ln-1 mol/h, from plate n-1 and the stream of
vapour, Vn+1 mol/h, from plate n+1 are brought into
intimate contact.
A stream of vapour, Vn mol/h, rises to plate n-1 and a
stream of liquid, Ln mol/h, descends to plate n+1.
Since the vapour streams are the V phase, their
considerations are denoted by y; the liquid streams are
the L phase and their concentrations are denoted by x.
Then the concentrations of the streams entering and
leaving the nth plate are as follows:
