Any chem friends here?
I have simulated a rectification of Methanol/Ethanol with a reflux ratio of ?. The reflux ratio pretty much is L/G, where G is the rising gas and L the condensate that is routed back into the rectifier.
What would you think, what the methanol concentration is in the bottom of the rectifier? High or low? I have measurements of a rectification at a reflux ratio of 5 and 10. The Methanol concentration at the bottom was about 100% higher with a reflux ratio of 10 than with a reflux ratio of 5.
Against what I had in mind, the concentration of Methanol in the infinite ratio rectification was about 80% lower than the rectification with a reflux ratio of 10.
Why is that?
