Estimates for the net rate of heavy liquid leaving specified trays in a liquid-liquid extraction column are entered through this window. Net heavy liquid rates do not include column side liquid products.
Usage
From the Column Main Window, push the Initial Estimate button.
From the Column Initial Estimate Window, push the Net Heavy Liquid Rate button.
Enter the Net Heavy Liquid Profile data in the table provided. See Editing Tabular Data for further information on entry and editing of tabular data. The dimensional units for net liquid rates may be changed by using the Unit-Of-Measure Selection Window, which is displayed when the UOM button is pushed.
Additional Information
If you wish, you can override all or part of the estimate data provided by the initial estimate generation method. Constant molar flow is used to generate estimates for trays not supplied with estimates. Normally, either net light or heavy liquid flows are provided. When both are provided, care must be exercised that the supplied rates do not conflict.
When providing an estimated profile, at least two net heavy liquid flows should be given:
1. Tray one : Corresponds to the top tray feed.
3. Bottom Tray : The "bottom" product.
