Notes:
A five plate distillation column, 100 mm in diameter, has been used to study both fluid mixing and the mass transfer separations of mixtures of methylcyclohexane and n-heptane under periodically cycled conditions. Both the fluid mixing and mass transfer could be successfully analyzed using the (2S) model to describe the liquid movement in the column. Previously reported results by McWhirter and Lloyd could not be reproduced. Only moderate improvements in separating ability can be obtained with sieve plates and packed sieve plate columns operated in the cycled mode.
