Phase equilibrium (NC per tray):<br />

Y,*j = Lj, Pm. T-1 (3.100)<br />
An appropriate vapor-liquid equilibrium relationship, as discussed in Sec. 2.2.6,<br />
must be used to find y~j. Then Eq. (3.96) can be used to calculate the ynj <strong>for</strong> the<br />
inefficient tray. The y,‘_ r, i would be calculated from the two vapors entering the<br />
tray: FL-, and V,-,.<br />
Additional equations include physical property relationships to get densities<br />
and enthalpies, a vapor hydraulic equation to calculate vapor flow rates from<br />
known tray pressure drops, and a liquid hydraulic relationship to get liquid flow<br />
