Question
What will happen if the upper outlet of the condenser is connected to the tap instead of the lower outlet?
Advertisements
Solution
- If water enters through the upper outlet of the condenser, the water will quickly flow down under the influence of gravity. This allows only a small section of the condenser to be cooled enough.
- If water enters through the lower outlet of the condenser, the entire condenser will be filled with water before it leaves out providing maximum cooling to the condenser. This results in the maximum recovery of purified liquid.
Hence, water must be allowed to enter through the lower outlet of the condenser during the distillation process.
