Steps to find out the number of plates:
- 
                            
                                In the first step, the application asks 
you to define a Data Source. There are three options available viz.: 
Available Systems, Relative volatitliy and raw VLE data.
                            
 - 
                            
                                Available System: These are a few 
commonly used systems which are already present there in the 
application. You just have to select the appropriate System.
                            
 - 
                            
                                Relative Volatiltiy: Enter a value for 
the relative volatility. The application will use this value to form the
 VLE curve.
                            
 - 
                            
                                Raw VLE data: If you have VLE data 
points of the system which you wish to use. Just enter the Points in the
 specified format. You can control the number of data points you have to
 enter. The application will fit the data for you after clicking on the 
"Fit Data" button. Choose the appropriate polynomial degree for a good 
data fit. Remember that the polynomial degree should be less than the 
number of data points you have entered.
                            
 - 
                            
                                In the second and the final step, the 
application will ask you various parameters required to draw the Mccabe 
Thiele Diagram.
                            
 - 
                            
                                After pressing the finish button, the 
application will give you the result in form of a Mccabe Thiele Diagram 
which can be saved as an image to your system. The application will give
 you the number of Theoretical Trays and the Feed Tray.
