Reactive distillation simulation

1 feed -> distillate + bottoms (react + separate)

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a reactive distillation — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

$\xi$

total reaction extent [mol/s] — specified here (contrast the kinetic version, where it is solved)

$X_{key}$

conversion of the key reactant [0..1]

$F$

feed molar flow [mol/s]

$z_{key}$

key-component mole fraction in the feed

$\nu_i$

stoichiometric coefficient of i (negative for reactants)

$\dot n_i$

component molar flow [mol/s]

Parameters

column params (n_stages, feed_stage, reflux_ratio, distillate_to_feed) plus stoichiometry, key_component, conversion (0..1]
