Which consequence results when a continuous distillation system, refining crude oil, experiences flooding?

💡 Explanation

Flooding increases liquid holdup, disrupting vapor-liquid equilibrium because the increased liquid pressure prevents the vapor from effectively contacting the liquid phase; therefore, separation decreases rather than improved separation or enhanced heat transfer capabilities. It also makes rebioler less effective.
