Question

What limitations of the BP and SR methods are overcome by the NR methods?

Expert Solution

Step 1

In the Bubble Point (BP) method, the stage temperatures are calculated using the bubble point equation for that stage.

In Sum-Rates (SR) method, the temperature of the stage which is the dominant variable is calculated by solving energy balance equations for the stage.

Step 2

Limitation of the BP method is that this method usually gives the best results for the ideal or systems which are nearly ideal, having narrow-boiling range. For this method, the temperature of the stage must be affected majorly by the composition of the stage rather than the latent of vaporization for that stage.
