This procedure can represent any scheme that mixes two bulk flow streams, where one of the two (the top) streams (of known composition, but adjustable flow) is allowed to assume any value in order to meet a specification in the outlet.
● Adjustable Inlet: the designated input port for the adjustable inlet stream.
● Process Stream: the designated input port for the process stream.
