Multi-Component Distillation

This video presents an introduction to multi-component distillation. By the end of this lecture you should be able to:

- Remember vapour-liquid equilibria
- Understand key variables for column design
- Use the short-cut method for multicomponent distillation

This video was recorded live in a large lecture.
