Distillation of a Complex Mixture. Part II: Performance Analysis of a Distillation Column Using Exergy

To analyze the performance of the separation process, we have introduced thethermodynamic concept of exergy through the exergetic efficiency of the column. Thesimulation results show that the exergetic output is relatively low and that the producedirreversibility fluxes are distributed throughout th...
