Q In a distillation operation, what is the effect of the temperature of the reflux stream (given below) on the condenser and reboiler loads? Reflux conditions: (i) Reflux stream is completely liquid and is at its bubble point. (ii) Reflux stream is below its bubble point ?
  • A A. Condenser and reboiler loads are the same in both the cases
  • B B. Reboiler load is the same in both the cases but condenser load is higher in case (ii)
  • C C. Condenser load is the same in both the cases but reboiler load is higher in case (ii)
  • D D. Both condenser and reboiler loads are higher in case (ii) as compared to case (i)
