3-Way Flow Splitting (Discrete)

N-Way Splitting Operations (Discrete): General Description

This operation is used to split the flow of discrete entities into N streams. The operating throughput (in entities/min) of the step is calculated based on the flow of the input stream.

Equipment Sizing

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.
