Is the fractionating tower hotter at the top or the bottom?
The bottom - this is why the hydrocarbons with the shortest chains leave the tower at the top as they have a lower boiling point.
Does low boiling hydrocarbons comes out of the fractionating tower first in the fractional distillation of petroleum?
Yes, it is correct.
What is a fractionating column?
This is an installation used for separation by distillation.
What is the purpose of the beads in fractionating column?
The surface area is increased by the glass beads.
Why do the higher boiling fractions in a fractionating column settle at the lower levels?
They are denser.
Is crude oil still a liquid when entering the fractionating tower?
Yes.

Difference between fractionating column and tower?
may be difference between column and tower: a tower may have inside space and a column have no inside space column is a solidy form like concrete column during the construction it can be analyse. and i think column requires reflux while tower does not requires reflux. hope that answer the question engrtauseef2008@gmail.com
Why are fractionating towers in refineries always tall?
such towers are basically to separate the liquids having boiling points very closer (fractional distillation) so the length of the tower is useful for separation of condensing material and evaporating material, higher is the length of the tower more purity of a fraction we get.
What was the coldest winter day in the history of St. Paul minnesota?
-60 Tower, MN February 2, 1996
What fraction is found at the top of the fractionating column?
numerator
What is a fractionating column?
This is an installation used for separation by distillation.
What is a tall fractionating column?
A tall fractionating column has 2 main parts 1- tall :usualy mean high pressure 2-fractionating column: means sepration of a componant usualy you will find something like propane fractionation means removing propane I hope I have cleared some of the meaning
Is packed fractionating column more efficient with glass beads?
and why?
What is the purpose of the outer jacket on a fractionating column?
The outer jacket on a fractionating column is used to insulate against heat loss from the inner jacket during distillation.
Why does LPG exit from the top of the fractionating column?
The boiling point is lower.
