A theoretical plate in many separation processes is a hypothetical zone or stage in which two phases, such as the liquid and vapor phases of a substance...

The theoretical plate height is given by H = L N {\displaystyle H={\frac {L}{N}}} where L is the column length and N the number of theoretical plates. The...

or theoretical plates. However, that is very seldom the case. Hence, a distillation column needs more plates than the required number of theoretical vapor–liquid...

Figure 1). The vapor condenses on glass spurs (known as theoretical trays or theoretical plates) inside the column, and returns to the distilling flask...
