It is the top section of the distillation column. The section where the vapour leaves the column to the condenser.
Generally: The flooding velocity of the column is the velocity of the vapor rising through the column at which the liquid on each stage is suspended. The flow of vapor up through the column will not allow the liquid to fall down through the column causing the stages to "flood".
Assuming you have binary components the McCabe Thiele Method should be used. Otherwise a process simulator such as Aspen, Pro/II, and/or KGTower should be used.
By flash, it is assumed you mean the amount flashed in the flash zone after entering a column. If the amount flashed is more than you desire, lower the feed temperature. If the feed is some amount of saturated liquid and vapor, you will want to increase the percentage of liquid fed to the column. This applies to a general distillation column with more flash than desired.If this is a crude oil atmospheric distillation column, and you are getting too much kerosene in a side draw, your cut point probably does not meet the required specification. In this case you will need to adjust your pumparound rates and/or increase the amount of reflux.
reflux ratio is the ratio of the quantity of distilled material returns to the column to quantity of distillate. One can operate the distillation column without calculating reflux ratio, but the main purpose of it is to improve the efficiency of the distillate.
In distillation coloum the channeling means is the unequal wetting of the packings in the tower. If channeling occurs, poor mass transfer happens, and therefore, less efficiency of the tower happens. AWAIS AFRIDI DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF GUJRAT...

The fractionation column is used to separate components of a liquid by distillation.
This is an installation used for separation by distillation.
Flooding and channeling are very significant terms with both gas absorption and distillation of it involves the use of packed towers. Flooding means that the gas velocity is very high, therefore, does not allow the flow of the liquid from the top of the tower, and flooding occurs on the top of it (ergo, the gas phase is not completely mixed by the water phase). The best gas velocity, should be half of the flooding velocity. For channeling, it is the unequal wetting of the packings in the tower. If channeling occurs, poor mass transfer happens, and therefore, less efficiency of the tower happens.
Channeling occurs when a fluid flowing through a bed is not evenly dispersed throughout the bed. For instance large diameter reactors have more frequent channeling problems where liquid is prone to channel along the reactor walls. Channeling should be avoided and reduces efficiency and conversion since reactants do not have proper contact with catalysts or separation media.
The distillate.
This is a distillation column that doesn't have a continuous feed. The material that is to be distilled will typically be in a round bottom still at the end of the column.
Fractionating column. The process is fractional distillation
i dont know if new improved distillation process have arrived but if you take the old plate distallition or packed column distillation process..then the answer to your question is NO.
