On the steady state fractionation of multicomponent and complex mixtures in an ideal cascade: Part 3. Discussion of the numerical method of calculation

Abstract In this paper the formulae necessary for rectification calculations on complex mixtures are summarized and developed for numerical computation. These formulae involve the computation of improper integrals for which a method of calculation is developed. A numerical example is considered in some detail since these calculations are not of a routine nature. The calculations were carried out in the I.B.M. 602 A. Calculating Punch. The plate by plate method is also considered.
