Mass Transfer
If the solubilities of different components (in a liquid-liquid extraction system) increase with rise in temperature, then the temperature above which they dissolve completely is known as the critical solution temperature (CST or consolute temperature). If solubilities increase with decrease in temperature, then CST is the temperature below which they dissolve completely. If a binary system has no critical solution temperature, it implies that

The system comprises of an azeotrope
The system comprises of partially mis-cible liquids
The system comprises of miscible liquids
On heating, a vapor phase will appear ; while on cooling, a solid phase will appear

Mass Transfer
Plate towers are preferred to packed towers, when large temperature changes are involved, because of the reason that the

Viscosity variation of the fluids may cause channeling/flooding
Packing may be crushed due to thermal expansion/contraction of the components of the equipments
None of these
Pressure drop in the equipment will be very high
