Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show the results for a batch distillation column operating at constant reflux ratio of 2.0 with ten theoretical stages. In Figure 2(a) it is observed that at the bottom of the column, the composition of benzene decreased with time while the composition of the heavy components increased.arolo and Guarice [ 8 ] extended their continuous short-cut method to batch distillation columns and used an infinite stage column. Seader and Henley [ 9, 10 ] applied Sundaram and Evans [ 3 ] method and showed how the FUG equations were used to solve a simulation problem with constant reflux.
Executive Summary on Persistence and Retention Topics. â¢ Retention rates commonly measure the percentage of freshmen that re-enroll the next academic year as sophomores. The primary reason that retention rates, along with graduation rates, are important is that retention rates are. perceived as indicators of academic quality and student success. â¢ In addition to retention, persistence, a studentâs continuation behavior leading to a desired goal, helps describe.
Customer retention rate is how well a company keeps its paying customers over a period of time. Peter Drucker once said the purpose of a business is to make and keep a customer. Retention deals with the latter. A low retention rate is similar to filling a bucket with holes in the bottom â sure, you could keep piling on to make up for it, or you could figure out what caused the holes and how you can patch them up.
