Question

The very First step of McCabe method is?

(a) Plot the equilibrium curve

(b) Plot diagonal curve

(c) Plot Operating line

(d) Plot stripping line

This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Mccabe Thiele Diagram-Construction topic in section Key Fractionation Concepts of Distillation Design

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Plot the equilibrium curve

Easiest explanation: Firstly we plot the Equilibrium diagram from the given equilibrium data, then the diagonal curve and then plot the operating line.
