Concentration mixer

Input data

Flow 1

Concentration 1

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.
