Node and ProcessFigure 329: Node and Process Flow

The mass balance equations around a node with n input flows and o output flows is as follows: 

The energy balance equation for a balance around a node is as follows:

Where:

Inputj = mass flow of jth input

hj = the specific energy in the jth input or output

Outputj = mass flow of jth output

N = number of components

O = the number of output flows
