NONEQUILIBRIUM MODELING OF DISTILLATION

This is a lecture on the way that we engineers model distillation. How we have done such modelling, how we would like to do it, and how far we have come at this moment. The ideas that I will be bringing forward are not my own. I owe them mostly to R. Krishna, R. Taylor, H. Kooijm an and A. Gorak. These are people who have spent a fair bit of their l ives developing modern multicomponent simulation methods of distillati on. I am just using their results.
