Generic separator unit
Introduction
This is a generic separation unit for target solute intended to imitate a selective separation process (e.g. softening, ion exchange, etc.) The unit assumes that target separation can be performed allowing user to configure percent of constituent to move from feed stream into product stream.
Degrees of Freedom
- For inlet conditions:
temperature
pressure
component mass compositions
- Unit overall operation:
percent of component to remove from feed stream
amount of chemical to add for operation
