Flow 2

Concentration 2

Output data

Outlet flow

Outlet concentration

Description

The concentration mixer allows calculating the resulting concentration from the mixture of two inlet streams with different flows and mass concentrations.

The method is based on a mass balance, considering both the total outlet flow and the weighted average concentration according to each inlet stream contribution.


Inputs

ParameterDefault unitsDescription
Flow 1 (Q1Q_1)m³/sFlow rate of the first inlet stream

Flow 2 (Q2Q_2)m³/sFlow rate of the second inlet stream
Concentration 2 (c2c_2)mg/LConcentration of the second stream

Outputs
