Description
Summary:This article presents a computer program developed for teaching of the stagewise distillation process, to be used by undergraduate chemical engineering students.Tt exposes a separation processes overview, emphasizing in distillation, its origins, importance and prospects. Phase equilibrium is then studied, as well as the equilibrium stage concept, both fundamental for stagewise distillation calculations. In the latter aspect an explanation of representative mathematic models is presented in a relatively complete way for binary mixtures, whereas an approximation is made to the study of multicomponent mixture models. Tutor programs are implemented presenting step-by-step procedures to solve user specified problems at the time results are obtained. Moreover, with a problem solving focused intention, simulation programs are added for the different studied models.
