Mass Transfer
Steam distillation is not recommended to be used, if the

Liquids decompose, if distilled directly at atmospheric pressure
Azeotropic mixture is to be separated and the final product is miscible with water
Material to be distilled is thermally unstable or has the tendency to react with other components associated with it, at the boiling temperature
Material can not be distilled by indirect heating even under low pressure, because of the high boiling temperature

Mass Transfer
Compound A is extracted from a solution of A + B into a pure solvent S. A Co-current unit is used for the liquid-liquid extraction. The inlet rate of the solution containing A is 200 moles of B/hr.m² and the solvent flow, rate is 400 moles of S/m². hr. The equilibrium data is represented by Y = 3X² , where Y is in moles of a A/moles of B and X is in moles A/moles of S. The maximum percentage extraction achieved in the unit is

0.5
0.25
0.7
