Abstract
A part of the empirical and generally effective θ method of Holland for the numerical solution of steady state multicomponent distillation problems is placed on a sound mathematical basis. Additional analysis of two other aspects of the numerical procedure is also presented. Finally, some numerical Jacobian types of matrices are discussed for two test problems. This discussion provides a numerical comparison between the strength of convergence of Holland's approach and direct iteration.Keywords
