- Equal to, less than
- Equal to, more than
- Less than, equal to
- Less than, more than
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
In small columns, local efficiency is approximately equal to Murphree efficiency due to minimal axial mixing. In large columns, axial mixing reduces local efficiency compared to Murphree efficiency.
