What is the equation for boil-up rate?
here distillation column used to seperate two components A and B,
Here feed (F) contains A and B,
And from top we get Distillate (D) which is A rich phase and from bottom we get Bottom (B) which is B rich phase
For upper section (stripping section) vapor are produced, they goes to condensor where it is condensed and some of them are going back to column for good purity of product which L is returned to column
And as well as for bottom part (rectifing section) Bottom liquid (L) is going to reboiler before that some amount of product is taken as bottom product, and from reboiler vapors are produced which are send back to collumn from bottom.
This vapors are called boil up rate
Boil up ratio = Boil up rate/ Bottom product
So Boil up rate = Boil up ratio * Bottom product.
