The enthalpy-concentration diagram may be used to
evaluate graphically the enthalpy and composition of
streams added or separated.
Over-all material balance:

F=V+L (7)
Component material balance

Enthalpy balance:
F hF = V H + L h (9)
L
Steady-state flow system
with phase separation
and heat added
For adiabatic process, q = 0:
Substituting eq. (7) to (9) gives:

• These 3 independent equations [eqs. (40), (41), and
(43)] can be written for stripping section of the column
between each plate.
• On the enthalpy scale and on the composition scale,
the differences in enthalpy and in composition always
pass through the same point, [xB, (hB – QB)].
• This is designated as point , the difference point, and
all lines corresponding to the combined material and
enthalpy balance equations (operating line equations)
for the stripping section of the column pass through
this intersection.
QB is usually not known. It can be derived from over-all
material balance:

• The construction may start from
V1 qD
either side of the diagram,
D
indicating either the condition at
L0 the top or the bottom of the
column.
• Proceed as explained in previous
F slides.
• In either case, when an equilibrium
tie line crosses the line connecting
the difference points through the
feed condition, the other
qB difference point is used to
B complete the construction.
