Heat and Mass Transfer
Simple distillation is a separation technique used to separate a liquid mixture into its individual components based on differences in boiling points. This process involves heating the mixture to a temperature at which one or more components vaporize, then cooling the vapor back into a liquid to collect the purified component. Simple distillation is particularly effective for separating substances that have significantly different boiling points and is often employed in various industrial and laboratory applications.
