The distillation is calculated in the same way as in Distillation Simulator 1.
But instead of displaying single selected points in tabular form, the complete distillation is displayed graphically and saved. After the distillation you can go through the distillation with the slider.
One must first enter the quantity, the alcohol content and the number of theoretical plates and then press "Fill". Then the initial values are displayed. The values in the boiler, in the vapor above the liquid, in the vapor after rectification and those in the distillate tank. Now you can run the distillation in three different speeds. One can pause (❙❙), restart and also change the speed. The number of theoretical plates can also be changed at any time. As soon as the distillation is finished, either because the vessel is empty or because one has stopped the distillation (◾), the slider can be used to go through the distillation again.
The consideration of the atmospheric pressure has a significant influence on the result. If nothing is entered, the computer assumes the local atmospheric pressure 1013.25 hPa.
Since almost no one has an absolutely accurate indicating thermometer, an additional "thermometer error" can be specified. This can be determined with the help of the calculator Thermometer Error. The temperatures calculated here are then those displayed on this thermometer, not the real ones.
