Distillate Yield Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Distillate Yield (DY) is:

\[ DY = \frac{D \times Y}{100} \]

Where:

Distillate Yield (DY): The amount of distillate obtained, measured in grams.
Total Amount of Distillate (D): The total amount of distillate available, measured in grams.
Percentage Yield (Y): The yield rate, expressed as a percentage.
Significance: Calculating the distillate yield is important in various industries such as chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. It helps in understanding the efficiency of the distillation process and optimizing production.

Let's say the total amount of distillate (D) is 500 grams and the percentage yield (Y) is 80%. Using the formula:

\[ DY = \frac{500 \times 80}{100} = 400 \]

So, the distillate yield is 400 grams.
