Limitation to the application of Rayleigh distillation

Abstract

The equation of Rayleigh distillation was interrelated with similar equations of other types. An emphasis was laid on the applicability of Rayleigh distillation to rate processes. In the case of first-order rate processes, the equation of Rayleigh distillation can be applied ubiquitously. In the cases of zeroth, second and higher order rate processes, the equation is only applicable under certain restrictions.
