Abstract A nonequilibrium stage model is developed for the simulation of countercurrent multicomponent separation processes. A feature of the model is that the component material and energy balance relations for each phase together with mass and energy transfer rate equations and equilibrium equations for the phase interface are solved to find the actual separation directly. Computations of stage efficiencies are entirely avoided. A procedure for solving the model equations simultaneously using Newton's method is outlined.
