When the generalized stage model is extended to the multistage case, the resulting column flow geometry and nomenclature is shown in Figure C.2. The resulting set of balance equations that characterize the multistage unit are given in Section C.4 - Equilibrium Solubility. This set of equations must be solved for each column in the flowsheet. A modified Newton-Raphson method is used to solve the rigorous nonlinear stage equations simultaneously for temperature, composition and phase rates on each stage in a column.
