Abstract—The vector equation of mass transfer in multicomponent systems, the conditions for the existence
of singular points, and the temperature distributions along the height of a two-section distillation column are
analyzed.
Previously [1], in terms of the thermodynamics of responding to the operating tie line (the difference
irreversible processes, we derived the vector equation Y − X).
of mass transfer in multicomponent systems: The equilibrium tie-line vector is related to the par-
tial derivatives of the equilibrium temperature by the
dm 1 equation [2, 3]
