Fractional Distillation Predictor

Predict which fractions you'd actually collect on your column. Antoine boiling points at the column pressure, Fenske analysis on adjacent pairs, azeotrope warnings from the database.

Vapor pressure: NIST WebBook Antoine constants. Plate count from column length / packing HETP (Perry's 8e §14). Fenske N_min = 2·log[s/(1−s)] / log(α) at total reflux gives the lower bound on plates; reverse-mode planning factor (1.5×) follows the Gilliland correlation.
