Simulation of Short-cut Distillation Column (DSTWU) in Aspen Plus - Lecture # 52

Learn to simulate a short-cut distillation column (DSTWU) in Aspen Plus. The short-cut method is useful in providing initial estimates for the simulation of the rigorous distillation column, i.e., number of stages, feed-stage, actual reflux ratio, etc. The DSTWU makes use of the Win, Underwood, and Gilliand method.
