Poisson's ratio of a material is the ratio of unit lateral strain to the unit axial elongation within its elastic limit. The value of Poisson's ratio for structural and pressure vessel steel may be taken as
Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam distillation are all continuous distillation processes
Distillation under vacuum is a substitute for steam distillation
In flash (equilibrium) distillation, a definite fraction of liquid is vaporised in such a way that the evolved vapour & residual liquids are in equilibrium with each other
In differential (simple) distillation, the vapour is removed as soon as it is formed without appreciable condensation
