What is a fraction tower?

Answer 1

A fractioning tower, (also known as a fractioning column) is a tower, where crude oil, found underneath the sea bed is placed into the tower.

The tower then heats up the oil, which causes it to evaporate, and then begins to move up the tower. As the evaporated oil moves up the tower, some of the hydrocarbons in the oil begin to condense at different temperatures. These hydrocarbons are then used by consumers.

Answer 2

A fraction tower is a set of stackable cubes or blocks specifically designed to represent fractions and their relationships with one another. It is a hands-on manipulative tool often used in elementary math education to help students visually understand and compare fractions. Each block corresponds to a specific fractional unit, allowing students to build and deconstruct fractions to aid in learning.

Answer 3

An apparatus in which fractionation is carried out. It consists of a vertical cylindrical metal vessel, containing equipment for the proper contacting of flashed liquid and vapor. Heat is often supplied at the bottom of the column in a reboiler, whereas heat is withdrawn at the top in a condenser. Heat can also be supplied by or withdrawn at intermediate heights of the column, if beneficial for the process (interheaters or intercoolers). The oil to be fractionated is fed into the column in one or more predetermined locations along the height of the column. The contacting equipment is formed by fractionating trays in the oil and chemical industry in general, while for special applications packing material is used

Answer 4

it is built to look like a tower and inside are fractions
