Optimal Operation of Batch Reactive Distillation Process Involving Esterification Reaction System

The performance of batch reactive distillation process involving the esterification of acetic acid with methanol to produce methyl acetate and water is considered in this work. Two cases studies with varying amount of the reactants are considered. The reflux ratio (single time interval) is selected...
