Abstract
The materials for the absorption of soluble gases and for the interface proceed a t a rate so great that the surface layer distillation, principally analytical but also on a limited of vapor is always in equilibrium with the liquid, and the only
commercial scale, makes desirable the development of a simple resistance to the exchange of material is that of diffusion in
method for determining the height to perform the required the vapor phase. Owing to the diffusion of the low-boiling
seDaration. Since emerimental data on such columns are component in the vapor, the concentration of this comporeiatively
few and cover for the
most part only narrow ranges
of the variables, it is particularly
desirable that these should
be correlated in ajs general a
manner as possible, so that their
reliability can be estimated and
that they can be extended as
widely as possible for the solution
of various design problems.
It is the purpose of this paper to
describe a convenient method
for the design of packed columns
and, conversely, for the
correlation of experimental data
from such columns.
