Notes:
A method is presented for calculating unsteady state multicomponent distillation using partial differential equations. The equations are solved by treating them as continuous in theoretical stage direction and stepped in time. Although some restrictions were placed on the problems actually solved, the method itself is not restricted by number of trays, number of components, number, type or combination of upsets, or by the thermodynamics of the system, and the method readily lends itself to hybrid computer solution.
