GUI for distillation columns: McCabe and Thiele Method.

GUI tool for estimating the theoretical number of plates of a distillation column

| Watch this File

File Information
Description

This GUI uses a constant relative volatility (alpha) to estimate the equilibrium curve. From there, the GUI uses the "McCabe and Thiele Graphical Method" to estimate the ideal number of plates in the column.

A reference is provided in the GUI: look in Help/About.

nice and easy

Parece que los señores anónimos que evaluaron la función negativamente, no saben ni usan MATLAB. Una pena el poco aporte constructivo. Para mí ha sido una excelente adición al FileExchange. Aparte de estar muy bien programada. Gracias por compartir.

New error checks were incorporated in the GUI. Thanks for pointing that out.

it fail without error if compositions is grater than unity(1)

Great tool for teaching distilation

Updates
05 Sep 2006

- New error checks were incorporated (e.g., molar fraction and feed quality).
- The "Help text box" was programmed in a more efficient way.
18 Aug 2008

- More precision was given to the equilibrium curve and theoretical stages.
30 Oct 2008

- A better way of detecting non-feasible distillations was incorporated. Thanks Jakub Kopáč.
