Material Balance around Operating Line
In any balance in the system, we have
Accumulation = input – output + generation – consumption……… (i)
However, while performing material balance in distillation column, we assume,
- Operation is carried out in steady state (i.e. constant volume) ⇒ Accumulation = 0
- We assume there is no reaction between components. ⇒ Generation = 0, Consumption = 0
