replies: text: Coppertwig, good catch! I have changed the link to point at Dynamic equilibrium which is not exactly correct, but it is the best of the existing choices. H Padleckas is working on a new article entitled "Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium" at User:H Padleckas/Temp (Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium). When he completes it, it will be a better choice and I will change the link involved here. - mbeychok 02:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The McCabe-Thiele diagram is not just for distillation.  It is also used (and very pertinent) to solvent extraction, where two liquids contact each other to exchange solute species.  Somebody that knows about the solvent extraction field needs to add this technology as an application of the M-T diagram, and create a link to the Wikipedia liquid-liquid entry.Thermbal (talk) 04:47, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right. In fact the M-T diagram can be used in other unit operations as well (given the proper assumptions), including gas absorption and leaching. As I learn more I will see if I take this on as my first wikipedia project. Sturgman (talk) 20:02, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I am confident that McCabe was a professor at MIT. He graduated with a PHD from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. See this http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=565&page=192. Part of his biography can be found at the bottom of the page. Sturgman (talk) 20:00, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The diagram shown as figure one contains a mistake. The steps need to be drawn starting from the feed line (blue line in the diagram), not the distillate composition. After all, the composition of the feed is the predetermined value here. Sadly, this mistake is common in literature and teaching. The only source I'm aware of that got it right would be "Thermische Verfahrenstechnik" by Mersmann, Kindl and Stichlmair. Does anybody know an english source that could be included in the article?--2003:F6:FF05:F300:CC71:AFC9:D6A9:6FC2 (talk) 20:06, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
