May i know where to get information on multipass sieve tray design? i got some information from Barnicki and Davies 1989 Chem. Eng.
I need more information for better understanding.
A good book on the theory and equations of distillation columns is Equilibrium Staged Separations by Wankat.
I personally would just use the simulators and vendor advise on the the number of passes to go with. Sulzer Chemtech has a free simulator on their website.
