This function lets the user to perform a flash calculations at fixed pressure and entropy (Isentropic flash).
Note: The best way to use this function is to use the wizard. Select: VLXE/Wizard on the menu
Input
Argument
|
Type
|
Optional
|
Description
|
Feed
|
Range of double
|
No
|
A range of cells with the feed
|
Pressure
|
C# : double
|
No
|
Pressure, default unit: Bar
|
Entropy
|
C# : double
|
No
|
Entropy, unit: kJ/(Kelvin kg)
|
FlashType
|
C# : string
|
No
|
Defines the number of phases to look for. Valid input are:
•Auto: Stops when stability analysis shows that the system is stable •2: Will maximum look for 2 phases •3: Will maximum look for 3 phases |
Output
|
C# : string
|
No
|
Defines the output. See here for more information.
|
Components
|
C# : string
|
No
|
Give a list of component names.
Only those components are used in the calculations.
See here for more information
|
Units
|
C# : string
|
No
|
Set the units used in this calculation.
See here for more information
|
Distribution
|
C# : object
(Expect a range of double)
|
Yes
|
Gives a range with the distribution of the polymer. Can for example be used if 2 flash calculations are liked as 2 separation tanks.

C# : object
(Expect a range of double)
|
Yes
|
Sets the block mass fractions in a co-polymer.
See here for more information
|
ProjectSheet
|
C#: object
|
Yes
|
Lets the user set the project sheet to use.

|
AdvUser
|
C# : object
|
Yes
|
Advanced used. Reserved for the user. For example it can be used to force the function update.

Examples:
Lets do a calculation on a system with three components at 100 bar and -1 kJ/(Kelvin kg). The solvent mass fractions are given in the range: B3:B5
We want temperature and the composition of phase 1 and 2 as the output
=Flash_PS(B3:B5,-1, 100, -400, "Auto", "T,C(1),C(2)")
Extra
This function is defined in C# as:
