This unit operation mixes two or more (up to 9) bulk streams and creates an outlet stream. The operating throughput of the step is calculated based on the flow of the output stream.
● 2-Stream Mixing (Bulk Flow) Procedure
If the equipment size option is in Design Mode and the operating throughput exceeds the maximum throughput, then, the program assumes multiple, identical units operating in parallel with an operating throughput of less than the maximum. If the equipment size option is in Rating Mode and the operating throughput exceeds the rated throughput of the step (which is equal to the rated throughput of each unit times the number of units), a warning message is displayed advising the user to increase the number of units or reduce the operating throughput.
