 Objective= In thermosyphon reboiler, it is important to determine to inlet nozzle elevation of reboiler
This spreadshit will help to determine the same.
User have to change h1 which is related to inlet nozzle elevation of reboiler
to get desired result that is " Thermosyphen will have desired flow".
It gives what should be reboiler return nozzle to the column.
It also provides reboiler height required
This input is useful for the reboiler design
