The generalized model accounts for the effects of channeling, transfer lag, mixing, and mass transfer that occur on each plate of a column in the process of separating a multi‐component mixture at unsteady state operation. The equations required to describe the model were tested by solving a wide variety of numerical examples. Selected numerical results are presented to demonstrate certain characteristics and uses of the generalized model.
