Distillation Column Simulation with DWSIM
This quiz focuses on developing a process flowsheet for simulating a distillation column that separates a mixture of benzene and toluene. Participants will learn to estimate distillate and bottom compositions, targeting a 99% benzene composition in the distillate and 99% toluene in the bottoms using DWSIM software.
