For example in the laboratory I want to determine my distillation column theoretical plate number (for Example 50 cm height and 3 cm diameter column with packed raschig ring).
I read the McCabe–Thiele method.
But I didn't know how to perform in the laboratory the experiment.
Could you give some practical advice for me? How I perform the method in the lab?
Thanks a lot.

You should get the HETP (height equivalent to theoretical plates). HETP is generally provided by the vendor. If we assume for raschig ring HETP= 200 mm and provided the height is 500 mm, the number of trays= height/HETP.
HETP also depends on the packing dimension.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
