Separator simulation

1 inlet -> captured + remaining (recovery)

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a separator — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

n˙i,cap=Rin˙i,in,n˙i,rem=(1Ri)n˙i,in\dot n_{i,cap} = R_i\,\dot n_{i,in},\qquad \dot n_{i,rem} = (1-R_i)\,\dot n_{i,in}
RiR_i
recovery of component i to the captured stream [0..1] — a specification, not a computed equilibrium; this block is a stand-in for a real separation
n˙i,in\dot n_{i,in}
component molar flow in [mol/s]
n˙i,cap\dot n_{i,cap}
captured (removed) flow [mol/s]
n˙i,rem\dot n_{i,rem}
remaining flow [mol/s]

Parameters

recovery {component: fraction 0..1 to the captured stream} (carbon capture / gas cleanup); isothermal
