Company Situation

You have been working on a new design for sieve trays in distillation columns with the goal of developing a new tray with higher efficiencies than existing designs. You have come up with a new design and have built a small scale distillation column that incorporates your new tray design. You now need to measure the efficiency of your trays.

You have arranged for seven batch distillation runs to be made using the modified distillation column. You yourself will be present at one of the runs, but the rest will be made by technicians. (You will submit your raw results electronically and they will be posted along with the results form each of the other groups. You will have access to everyone's data in preparing your reports. You MUST use your own data in the data analysis/results section. Also, it is to your advantage to use as much information from other groups as you feel appropriate. This will help in the error analysis section)
