Abstract In the experiment of measuring rectifying tower efficiency based on water-ethanol solution, researchers confront with quite a time-consuming data processing and large error in the theoretical plate number obtained by traditional manual graphical method. In the study, based on the principle of plate-by-plate calculation method, C programming was utilized to get the result of date processing output as a ‘dat’ format file, which was directly imported into the Origin 9.0 software to obtain the graphs that researchers need. This process not only suits students with basic C programming knowledge in aspects of the easy-to-understand learning, simple operation, accurate results, extremely high efficiency, but also helps to ameliorate the present pedagogical method.
