Solving Flowsheet Equations
Solving Linear Mass Balance Equations All units except the reactor have independent split fractions for each component. The reactor mass balance relates flows to limiting components in the reaction. If we solve for the limiting components first, we can solve for all other flows. Option 1: Solve simultaneously, the linear mass
