Hi! Cool that you found my small python module that automatically calculates an entire rectification process for you. Here's how to do it:
importrectipyasrp# first, we create the components, our mixture will be made of# the argument is a string of the lowercase name of the component# for available components and their exact spelling, check the READMEwater=rp.Component('water')
ethanol=rp.Component('ethanol')
# then, we mix them together# it is important in which order you pass the components,# as the first one will be reference to concentration# values in the following proceduremixture=rp.Mixture(ethanol, water)
# and now initialize the rectification process# the required arguments are:# mixture: the created Mixture object# xA: concentration of the swamp# xF: concentration of the feed# xD: concentration of the productrectification=rp.Rectification(mixture, 0.12, 0.4, 0.78)
# with this, we get the McCabe-Thile plot of our mixture# with operation lines and rectification steps drawn inrectification.plot()This is the produced output—beautiful, right?
At this state, you can create mixtures with the following compounds:
- water
- ethanol
- ethyl acetate
- benzene
- p-xylene
- toluene
