Common mass transfer models for multistage distillation show significant deviations between calculated and experimental height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) values for viscous feed mixtures. This is due to a limited transferability of the available data which were mainly obtained from experiments with inviscid mixtures. Separation efficiency measurements at elevated viscosities can be conducted...
